The HotPotatoes test set consists of six different
programms. Five are the so called basic test tools and
one tool, the Masher, combines the different tests to a
test series or test unit.
Using it you can create interactive multiple-choice,
short-answer, jumbled-sentence, crossword,
matching-ordering and gap-fill exercises for the
World Wide Web. Hot Potatoes is free of charge for
those working for publicly-funded non-profit-making
educational institutions, who make their pages
available on the web.

Not only can you create traditional assessments, but
you also have the opportunity to include crosswords
and jumble puzzles. If you want to keep the "Free"
feature for educators intact, you have to be able to
do without the Masher program. Masher allows you
to combine the various exercises together to form a
cohesive unit. Hot Potatoes is a very flexible program
which generates quizzes, cloze passages or
crosswords.

jumbled items on the other
side.

A JQuiz exercise can contain an unlimited number of questions, from four different question types, and each question can contain an unlimited number of correct or incorrect answers, each with feedback. JQuiz can create four different types of questions:
multiple-choice short-answer hybrid (a short-answer question that turns into
a multiple-choice question after several attempts) multi-select (in which the student has to choose
several of a set of options, then check the choices)In short-answer questions, the student’s guess is intelligently parsed and helpful feedback to show what part of a guess is right and what part is wrong. The student can ask for a hint in the form of a “free letter” from the answer.

The JCloze program creates gap-fill exercises.
Unlimited correct answers can be specified for each gap, and the student can ask for a hint and see a letter of the correct answer.
A specific clue can also be included for each gap. Automatic scoring is also included.
The program allows gapping of selected words, or the automatic gapping of every nth word in a text.
