Hot Potatoes is a free software for generating digital quizzes, cloze activities, matching questions and crossword puzzles. I found it a while ago but never got around to using it until today. What motivated me was the fact that it is integrated into moodle. I took hello world, pasted the code into a cloze activity, made some gaps, uploaded it to Moodle and Voila! I had part two for my test today.
It took everyone a few minutes to catch on to what they were supposed to do but once they figured it out I think it was a pretty successful learning activity. At the very least it offered them another way to interact with the code.
