The 2-Minute Challenge: Make your first exercise

Now that you've seen all the exercises at work, it's time to try creating your own exercise. We're willing to bet that you can do it in two minutes flat, using JMix. Here's what you do:

Start the Hot Potatoes program and click on the JMix potato, then

  1. Enter a title.
  2. Enter a sentence. Break your sentence into segments, by putting each segment on a separate line.
  3. Click on the Web button, or choose "Export to Web" from the File menu. (If you have a version 5 Web browser or above, you might want to choose the Web drag button next to it instead, to get a drag-and-drop version of the page.)
  4. Answer the question about "This" with "no".
  5. Choose a name for your Web page.
  6. Answer "Yes" to view the exercise in your browser. If you have not already chosen a browser to use with Hot Potatoes, you will be asked to choose one.
When you've finished, come back here to continue the presentation!
