Hot Potatoes

Hot Potatoes is a super handy program that lets you create fun and interactive quizzes! You can whip up multiple-choice questions, short answers, jumbled sentences, crosswords, matching exercises, and even gap-fill activities that you can share online. It's really easy to use!

Create Quizzes Easily

The Hot Potatoes interface is simple and straightforward. When you start it up, you'll be asked to set a username and pick the language you want to use. This makes it user-friendly for everyone!

Different Modules for Different Tasks

You get to choose from several modules like 'JQuiz', 'JCross', 'JMix', 'JCloze', 'JMatch', and 'The Masher'. Each of these has its own settings that you can tweak. You can change how things look, manage buttons and links, add pictures, create HTML tables, and handle media objects.

Edit with Ease

With Hot Potatoes, you have the power to adjust the default source files and where the configuration file lives. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even translate the interface! Plus, there's help content available along with tutorials. You also have basic editing tools like undo, cut, copy, and paste.

User-Friendly Performance

This application doesn't hog your computer's resources; it runs on low-to-moderate CPU usage and memory. It's pretty quick to respond too! No annoying error messages popped up during our tests—Hot Potatoes didn't freeze or crash at all! Its layout is so intuitive that anyone—whether they're a newbie or an old pro—can figure out how to use it without any hassle.

No Recent Updates

The only downside? It hasn't had any updates in quite a while. But if you're looking for an easy way to create educational content online that works well across different levels of experience, Hot Potatoes is definitely worth checking out!
