Hot Potatoes is a great assessment tool that allows you to create interactive multiple-choice, short-answer, jumbled-sentence, crossword, matching/ordering and gap-fill exercises for the web as well as electronic web-based flashcards. Here is a Hot Potatoes drag & drop exercise I created for my Algebra 2 class last year. We used this during class with our electronic whiteboard as an interactive whole-class activity, and students could access the exercise from a home or school computer for further review or study.

Hot Potatoes isn’t freeware but it is free of charge for those working for publicly-funded non-profit-making educational institutions as long as they make their pages available on the web.
