HOT POTATO (QUIZ)

 The Easiest Way to Create Quiz Using Hot Potatoes Application



Hello English!

Have you had any experiences getting a quiz at school? Yeah, of course. Absolutely, you’ve ever got quizzes at school with all kinds of various quizzes. There are many benefits of quizzes for teachers and learners. Quizzes are one way for teachers to find out and measure students’ comprehension in a lesson, or usually are used for games to build interesting learning. In this modern era where technology is increasingly developing, it makes teachers must try to create a learning that is not outdated.

        On this occasion, I am going to introduce one of the applications for creating quizzes, namely, Hot Potatoes.

What is Hot Potatoes?

Hot Potato is the classic software for creating interactive web-based teaching quizzes. The Hot Potatoes suit consists of 6 applications: JCloze, JQuiz, JCross, JMatch, JMix, and the Masher.

What are the features provided by Hot Potatoes?

1. Jcloze (gap-fill exercise) is a quiz in which words have been removed from a short piece of writing, and students have to write the correct answer in the empty space.
