We have used, or rather had, Talmos for years, constantly requested features promised but they never came. Even something as simple as a link to email took months to be but on.

The version of Talmos referred to in the link is actually around two years old and the issues referred to don’t relate directly to the product as it stands, rather to a disagreement about comments relating to the older version of the product.

Anyone interested, who is prepared to look with an open mind at the current version, would be welcome to email on info@talmos.net to arrange a discussion or demonstration.

As can be seen by the latest posts, there will be a discussion on July 6th where these issues will hopefully get a fair hearing.

Comment on Using Hot Potatoes as Peer Assessment in a Moodle Workshop by Mike Johnson

Thanks for sharing - we have a monolithic vle and this poses an even worse barrier to innovation than not having one at all! I came across your post while looking for a way to automate a peer marking process - perhaps moodle workshops might do for this… still looking…

I understand the reticence as far as mp3s and videos goes but surely hotpotatoes which is entirely educational should not cause any issues? And as all schools are meant to have some sort of VLE in place this year - is your Director of ICT not looking to organise something? It would be a smart move to find out what he/she has in mind and get in there from the start - then you can influence the choice!

This is a very good idea. I thought of something similar earlier last term: to get my Spanish pupils to create their own tests and end of unit activities using hotpotatoes, like you say, so they could test each other, thus adding an element of competition. Unfortunately my Director of ICT will not entertain the idea of installing hotpotatoes on all the students’ machines, …or moodle, …or allow access to sites with video content, …or access to sites with mp3 content, …or virtually any other activity that might prove too much fun.

thanks for this - I find HotPotatoes easier to use than the Moodle quizzes and you can make them look better too.

Thanks for this. I didn’t even know this book existed. I found your review useful and informative. It’s good to have an honest review to refer to by someone actually in the trenches, when normally all we have to go on is the publicity put out by the publisher.

Good job! Keep it up.
