I like the idea and there is a real need for this kind of app, but I think that restricting to multiple choice and text input questions is a very bad choice. These types of questions are the legacy of computer-fill-in-the-circle-with-a-pencil technology from the old days.<p>The khan academy exercises framework[1] is doing some very interesting things on the "rich question" front. They have questions which can be answered by moving lines, matching expressions as well as entering rich math expressions sqrt(2).<p>There is also ka-lite[2] which is building a "hosted khan-exercises" application, which includes a basic "teacher admin" view. It would be worth taking a look at it -- it is a very well done django app.<p>More feedback when the demo starts working again :)<p>_________<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises</a> [2] <a href="https://github.com/jamalex/ka-lite/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jamalex/ka-lite/</a>
