  • Firstly, make sure the Moodle site administrator has enabled the Hot Potatoes module (which is included in a standard Moodle install but not default activated. No module needs to be downloaded. The administrator need only click to activate it.) You can see if it is activated without bothering the administrator by seeing if Hot Potatoes is in the Activities Dropdown list.
  • Next create the Hot Potatoes quizzes on your PC.
  • Next upload them to the "Files" area of your Moodle course (click the "Files" link in the administration block).
  • On the "Add a HotPot activity" page, click on the "Choose or upload a file ..." button and you should see your Hot Potaoes files listed.
  • Click the "Choose" link for the file you want to use.

Note: If you have a lot of Hot Potatoes quizzes to upload, you may save time by zipping them all up into a single file, uploading that to Moodle and then unzipping it there.
