Most things came over from 1.9, but not all the images, and none of the blocks - but blocks work differently in 2.3, so I guess that makes sense.<br /> <br />Now I'm trying to figure out how to use the Book module, which is in 2.3 - lots of potential for making content more like a webpage and less like the scroll of death.Fran Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05972960432315889588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105354090063124620.post-82464283888920317622012-07-28T11:42:24.877-04:002012-07-28T11:42:24.877-04:00Hi Fran,

I'm going to have to go dig it out of the archive!

I think HP is more for quick quizzes, which is exactly what I was looking for. <br /><br />I'm so pleased you're working with LearnNowBC.

It's been on my 'to do' list for a while now and you make it sound so easy! Do you know if it is possible to put together a test bank in Hot Potatoes? It's a feature that I really like about Moodles in house quiz maker. <br /><br />Thanks also for the shout out to the LearnNowBC Moodle Meets.
