Unfortunately, if you want to password protect exercises created with Hot
Potatoes you need to pay a licensing fee. Being at the Coast Guard Academy
we're not visible to the outside world, so we had to pay for the license.
Of course, it's only around $100.

You should password protect your exercises so that only your students
can use them. That is what we do when any copyrighted materials are
used in online exercises.

Hi fellow LLTI'ers!
I am currently working on developing some exercises using Hot Potatoes
(www.halfbakedsoftware.com) with a French instructor here at the
University of Regina. Some of these exercises make use of extracts
from
long literary works and ask students to judge whether or not the
author
would have used passe compose or imparfait for the verbs in the text.
Students fill in the blanks. An example of this exercise is
(temporarily at least) at URL E:\My Documents\Lrc\Development\HTML
Pages\Hotpot\French\Intermediaire\exercises\x\pqp005.htm .
Can anyone tell me whether or not exercises like these would be
allowable
under copyright? I believe that it would be because a) it is
documented,
b) it is only an excerpt of a larger literary text, c) we are doing
something creative with it that adds a different purpose than what is
intended by the author/publisher and, therefore, we are not simply
stealing profits by re-producing replicas, d) it is for educational
purposes and e) it is not for profit (since we are a public
institution).
Am I correct in this judgement? Am I missing anything potentially
conflicting or arguable? Since the use of Hot Potatoes requires that
these exercises be posted to the Internet we want to be sure that we
are
not infringing on copyright before proceding.
Thanks!
