Created the folder includes files for.
It contains sixteen questions that illustrate its potentials.
Files containing the questions are “txt” is therefore very easy to handle,
although it is advisable to write the questions with the editor.
Commands are those required by the program is comfortable and easy to be
handled by anyone.
“It generates HTML exercises and shows them online.”
Hot Potatoes Program
Is a suite of six tools that allow interactive exercises to develop Web pages
based on six basic types.
The editable information for each type of exercise is stored in a specific file.
From the same final document will be generated in HTML format interactive.

The student do not need to have installed on the computer, the program, to
perform each exercise.

The formats of the tests is able to generate the application are:
o Question multiple-choice answers,

o Similar selection to create pairs of concepts,
o Order concepts to demonstrate understanding of a sequence, and so on.
The creation of this fully automated testing.
You just type the questions and indicate which answer is correct and the
application will create all graphics and programming issues that led to the

I would like to end with some conclusions and recommendations:
CONCLUSIONS
 Teaching methods and teaching techniques must be consistent with the
technological and scientific advances, teachers, instructors and trainers
of any discipline has to make use of teaching tools, for to do the
measurement and current assessment to objectively measure student
learning.
 Current technology allows for innovation in teaching and learning
systems, facilitating the editing and evaluation of learners, by testing
well-structured education and teaching.
 The design and editing of the tests must be carried out with special
programs, for example, Avaluator 3.0, Hot Potatoes, Wondershare
QuizCreator or Aritest Teachers, which offers many capabilities such as
generation of interactive online assessment tests
ADVICE
 Evaluative design tests can be editing with different types of assessment
items using editing software testing.
 Implementing online assessment systems, which can be accessed
several times as many times as the students need.

 Test may be made by subject, to measure the level of understanding of a
specific topic.
 Implement statistical evaluation systems to measure the degree of
difficulty depending on the subject topic, item and specific question, to
implement tests with different levels of difficulty.
 Explore the possibilily of implementing new teaching and assessment
systems that complement the current educational system will improve or
facilitate the work of educator and student learning, who can see benefits
to having the opportunity to make such as math test that can accessed at
any time, date, time an day, recording their stay on camera for the
purpose of verification of identity for example, or go to the school lab to
take test when the student feels ready.
