Wize.me
is a free online tool that allows users to create their own online worksheets. All
worksheets may include videos, audio, images and text. The design of the
variety of question types are attractive and engaging. The different worksheets
that can be created range from multiple choice activities to open questions.
Wizer.me provides the possibility of sending these worksheets to students through

Wizer.me
is a great approach to teaching. It allows you to create and use your own
electronic material inside and outside the classroom. As Dudeney and Hockley
(2007) say, creating your own material provides extra practice, consolidation
and review exercises. They also build up a collection of your own resources and
bring to class a change of pace that can be highly motivating.
