I understand your reasoning about why this is potentially different from moodle. However, I would like to see some more discussion of how/when/why they could intersect, and how you would harmonize/integrate/avoid these cases.

The system I proposed can be easily be developed as a part of extension of Moodle itself; because primarily both originate from the same domain, though serve different purposes! My proposal was to keep this system aloof from Moodle owing to the fact that extending this to Moodle and deploying it may be unnecessary; but as per mentor's feedback received it seemed obvious that OLPC is looking forward towards deployment of Moodle at their servers and hence I have changed my proposal accordingly (Wiki has not been updated yet to reflect it).


Abhicool 18:44, 10 April 2008 (IST) Great, can't ask for a better answer than that! Now, as I said on IRC, my next priority would be having this usable offline, even if in some limited version, for students. Not sure if doing a xulrunner-style activity, a la SocialCalc, is feasible.

Second question: do you envision all questions as being computer-scorable, or do you have support for human grading? The latter can be much richer, but if you do it, some interface support for rubrics (including rubric file format and rubric construction - not sure if there are standards) would be a great bonus. Not asking you to throw the kitchen sink into GSoC - "future features" would be fine.
