The first moodle activity for physical classroom. The idea comes from Purdue University's hotseat.
Inside or outside classroom, students post questions into a Hot Question activity from notebook, netbook, android, iPhone, iPod or any other device which can access the moodle site. Students can also vote on others' questions, so that the hottest questions will be popped up to the top of the list. Teachers can make oral comments on selected questions in classroom.
Enhanced remove question capability 7/16/2016 to show a message that you have successfully removed a question. Reworded the message for opening a new round.
New capability added 7/15/2016 that places an entry with link in the Recent Activity block when anyone posts an entry in a Hot Question acitivity. Added a Recent activity setting that lets you limit students to seeing only their posts. Admin, teachers and managers still see all posts.
New capability added 4/01/2016 that allows admin, teachers, and managers to delete any round in the current Hot Question activity if they deem all the questions in the round are no longer needed, or if the round is empty. Can also be used to reset the activity. If you need to keep a copy of the questions in a round, you must download them before the round is removed.
New capability added 3/29/2016 that allows admin, teachers, and managers to download a csv file of the questions in the current Hot Question activity. An admin can also download questions and their download will include ALL questions from the Moodle site.
New capability added 3/29/2016 that allows admin, teachers, and managers to delete any question in the current Hot Question activity if they deem the question as inappropriate or not applicable to the subject.
NOTE: If you plan on disciplinary action for any inappropriate question, you should download the evidence BEFORE you remove questions ore remove rounds, as once removed, questions and rounds are not recoverable.
