Miscellaneous Downloads

WinZip - WinZip is a utility that compresses a group of files so they can be easily and quickly downloaded or uploaded. You can download an evaluation version of WinZip 9.0 (A zip utility is not required with Windows XP, because Microsoft included a limited zip utility with the operating system).

Hot Potatoes is software which, similarly to StudyMate, enables you to create interactive exercises for students. The Hot Potatoes suite includes several types of exercise possibilities, including multiple-choice, short-answer, jumbled-sentence, crossword, matching/ordering and gap-fill exercises. The software is free of charge for those working for educational institutions who make their pages available on the web. You may download it from the link above in this paragraph.
