Hot Potatoes is
shareware from Half-Baked Software which is based at the University of
Victoria in Canada. It is a program that allows you to make six different types
of self-test exercises. These exercises can also quite easily be imported into
an LMS like Moodle to be used for assessment of learning content.
Hot Potatoes was
originally meant to create language exercises, and some Hot Pot exercises
(like jumbled sentence) have little use otherwise. However, most
exercises can be used for any subject.
Hot Potatoes is shareware. That means you can freely download the application from this website http://web.uvic.ca/hrd/hotpot/

1. JMatch
JMatch allows
for the creation of extensive matching exercises, including drag and drop
types. Unlike in JQuiz (where a list of questions can be created) only one task
can be created per data file and it displayed on one page. Just as with
JCloze and JCross, JMatch is not so suitable for combination with a reading
text, because this would complicate the display of the task. The interface
window for a JMatch task looks like this:

JQuiz
JQuiz is the
most commonly used Hot Potato. With JQuiz you create multiple choice and
short-answer quizzes. When creating an exercise, start by configuring the
output of the exercise ( ). The output configuration screens are quite similar
in the different Potatoes so I’ll go through them in detail once, for JQuiz,
and show only the main screens for the other Potatoes.
3. JCloze
JCloze is the
Potato module with which you can create gap-fill exercises. Gap-fill, a.k.a.
cloze texts, are eminently suitable for vocabulary and text comprehension
training, but they can be adapted to other uses as well.
