Hot potatoes offers a platform for teaching and learning

Hot potatoes is not a new shareware online for developing easily-designed assessment or exercise for language teachers. For making assessment task for learners who had limited experiences on using online tools for learning, teachers need to give them enough time for solving the technical problems. Yet, it is more challenging for teachers to spare enough time to discover the useful functions in the software. I love making the lesson more enjoyable and rewarding. Yet, I found it difficult for me to make it a more attractive layout.
Moreover, to raise students motivation on self-learning thorugh online activities, it is more practical for a teachers to manage to help themselves to correct the errors and tackle the problems they have on language.
Hot potatoes provides "hints" function, so learners can follow their own learning pace and ability. It helps teachers to cater for the diversity in learning needs in a class that we cannot easily manipulate through pencil-and-paper assessment or standard homework.
