Hot Potatoes is comprised of six different programs, or modules. Each module can be used to create a different type of interactive, Web-based exercise. The six different modules are referred to as "potatoes," and consist of : • JQuiz • JMix • JCross • JCloze • JMatch • The Masher
Four 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 options)
The Masher is a tool for automatically compiling batches of Hot Potatoes exercises into units.
