The purpose of
Hot Potatoes software is to enable you to create interactive Web-based teaching
exercises which can be delivered to any Internet-connected computer equipped
with a browser (version 5 or above). The exercises use HTML and JavaScript to
implement their interactivity. The program will create the Web pages for you,
and you can then upload them to your server. Available free for non-commercial
use from Half-Baked Software and
the University of Victoria Humanities Computing and Media Centre,
1998-2001. |

| HotEqn | |||||||||||||||||||
|
HotEqn is a
Java applet to view and display mathematical equations on the Web. The applet
uses the familiar LaTeX notation to code its equations. Fontsizes are variable,
so the applet can be used to display inline equations as well. From
HotEqn
at the Virtual Control Lab. |
