Welcome to Part 4.
This review will cover very briefly Hot Potatoes.This is mainly due to the fact that according to edshelf.com technical support is no longer provided for this application by the company that created it. Hot Potatoes is now outdated, however, it is easy to use to create tests, even if you are not computer literate.The tests can also be linked so the students can go from one test to another and it
also supplies a few alternative options for feedback, assessment and review. It is a freeware software which contains within it six further applications, these applications enable you to create multiple choice, short answer, crossword, jumbled sentence, matching/ordering gap-fill exercises for the internet which are interactive. It is still available as a download however as it is not supported and it also uses java, for which browsers are now withdrawing their support as well, there does not seem to be much point in using it. A definite no from my point of view to use with my students.
