How do you get the URL? Where do you host the file? Is there somewhere you can do this for free?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, I was looking for a way to post my exercise to my blog for ages!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that the feedback (check button) doesn't work though, is it something I have done wrong or is this function disabled when I post the exercises in blogger?
Once again thanks for the help!
Thank you so much for this! I'd spent ages trying to figure out how to embed Hot Potatoes into Blackboard. It's great having stuff students can interact with rather than just read.
ReplyDeleteYes but actually not all exercises work with iframe. When there's calculation implied and you have to show percentage for example. Sometimes if you have an iframe, javascript is not able to work through 2 sites simultaneously so if you have the iframe in www.example.com and you're loading www.otherpage.com with the iframe. The hosting website will not allow you to correctly run the script of the page in the iframe... ( If you try directly ...it works...put the same page in an iframe it won't)
