QUINTANA PEREZ, Quinley et al. Elaboration of Interactive Self-Evaluation Exercises with the Software HotPotatoes for the Subjects Human Morphology and Physiology I and II. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.5, pp. 893-905. ISSN 1561-3194.
A set of one-hundred exercises was elaborated using the software HotPotatoes aiming at contributing with the teaching-learning process of the eukaryote cell’s morphology and physiology, in order to facilitate interactive teaching. Different kinds of exercises were generated: fill-in the blanks, crosswords, matching, true or false, multiple-choice, and ordering of phrases and sentences. The main advantaged offered by the software HotPotatoes are: automatic correction of the answers (at the end of each exercise, the student obtains a percentage qualification derived from both the number of correct and incorrect answers, and also based on he number of attempt to give each correct answer), and secondly, the availability for the professor to enter information regarding why an answer ins correct or is not (back-feeding). The exercises elaborated were incorporated to the lessons created for each topic, so that each student could make an evaluation on how much he/she had learned at the end of his/her independent review or session. Now there is no way to organize the teaching process (workshop lesson) among the lectures and seminars in which student could consolidate and systematize the received contents, so that the exercises may contribute to achieve the skills in each topic.
