Uses Adobe Flash though the description says java applet.  Beware for iPad and Android tablet usage.

A great beginning exercise for those learners who have pre-requisite knowledge of how medical terms are broken down--what combining forms, combining vowels, prefixes, and suffixes are and the rules around bringing them all together to form a term.

Nice animation of word parts and the quiz/test opportunity will be good reinforcement for students to practice combining work parts prior to being tested.

Technical Remarks:

Easy to use
