Hot Potatoes is a test/review html editor which I first saw at NABT last fall (another Project Seam grant). Hot Potatoes will generate multiple choice, matching, fill-in-the blank, etc. These pages can be uploaded to your website and will provide interactive exercises. Please note that this is not a "secure" test generator. Any really sharp individual who knows html could get into the source and find the answers. I think the crossword is particularily good for vocab. You can cut and paste existing lists into the program and it will automatically setup the grid. There is also a manual option, but why?
