Classes
Classes are used in hotpotatoes.net
for grouping students and learning materials. Your hosting
account is automatically set up with a default class,
called "Class 1", but you can use the Classes
page to change the name of your default class, or to
add more classes. To do this, click the Classes option
on the Account Management page. Note: the number of
classes you can create is limited by the type of hosting
account you have.
The Classes List
When you choose the Classes option,
you will see a list of your Classes. The listing for
each Class shows which Pages are uploaded to that Class
- you can click on any of these Page titles to display
the Page. The Classes screen also shows a list of students
who are members of each class, and a link which you
can click on to send an email message to the entire
class. (See Sending Messages to Students for more information.)

Each entry in the Classes list also
has links for Edit, Delete and Results. You can use
the Edit link to change the Class's name (how it appears
on your and your students' hotpotatoes.net screens)
or its Viewing Password. See Viewing
Pages for more information about password-protecting
your pages.
Pages and Classes
Whenever you upload a page, whether
it is a Hot Potatoes or TexToys exercise or some other
type of Page which you are uploading using the Masher,
you must select which of your Classes the page will
be used in, and under what title it will appear on your
(and your students') hotpotatoes.net screens. The Classes
area allows you to change this information for any of
your Pages after you have uploaded them.
Once a Page has been uploaded to a
particular Class, only students in that Class can see
the Page. If you want the same page to appear in more
than one class, you must upload it separately for each
class, and give it a different title each time you upload
it. See Uploading
Pages for more details.
Students and Classes
Each student can be a member of any
or all of your classes: when you create or edit a student
account using the Students option, you can choose which
class(es) the student is a member of. When the student
logs in, they see only the pages and exercises which
you have uploaded for the class(es) of which they are
a member. See Students
for more details.
