Boris is a great 11 chemistry teacher who is trying to help his weaker students learn the periodic table. He “is trying to find some way to create a stand-alone, self-directed review tool for students learning the Periodic Table”. There are a number of resources available on the Internet and in the form of iOS and Android apps. Therefore I might recommend to Boris, some of the following options:
It’s Elemental: http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/
Jefferson Lab: http://education.jlab.org/indexpages/elementgames.html
Proton Don: http://www.funbrain.com/cgi-bin/pt.cgi?A1=s&A2=1&ACOMMON=1&submit=Play+Proton+Don
Boris might also consider creating his own interactive game using PowerPoint. Here are some samples I created using hyperlinks in PowerPoint: Quiz Creation (instructional video) or I Spy Drug Identity game
This video shows to create a PowerPoint quiz. To make such a quiz available to his students, Boris can, once the Periodic Table quiz is created, save it as a PowerPoint “show”, save it to a public folder in DropBox and then share the DropBox link with his students in the LMS.
For formative assessments he can either create quizzes using existing LMS tools or he can use Google Forms and link from the LMS to the quiz forms.
