Wade,
I am working on additions to Image Quiz to add the features mentioned
here. The primary goal is to provide a picture recognition capability
for learning vocabulary (the user is presented with four pictures and
hears an audio prompt, then clicks on the correct picture). The
capability to present flashcards (text, image, or audio prompt, text
response) is also included. One of the other goals was to provide a way
for the user to create his own questions. Collections of questions
(called categories in Image Quiz) may be downloaded from the
schoolserver. They are stored locally in an Sqllite database (images and
sounds in the 'data' folder).
It would make sense to me, and be pretty awesome, if this activity
shared a data format with Memorize. Memorize is all about matching,
which goes hand in hand with basic flash-cards of many kinds. In
effect, Memorize just takes sets of flash-cards and adds collaboration
and spatial skills to the mix. Since memorize already allows media in
the form of text, image, and audio, it seems it would likely suit a
flash-card activity well. (Actually, naming it Image Quiz might be
an unfair limitation on what it offers...perhaps Quick Quiz or
something?)

Progress is slow because of other commitments. However, I should have a
reasonable first release ready by the time I leave for Nepal (Feb. 22).

One of the most common activity requests is a general purpose collaborative
Quiz activity. The ActivityTeam will try to meet this need in the near
future, for now I'm adding it to our TODO list.
Main subject matter requested as simple activities with lesson plans
The main subjects that were requested were German (first language) and
Mathematics, which seems to coincide with the requirements of other
deployments like the Nepali deployment. In terms of mathematics, these
activites should be as simple as possible, for example, the
multiplication/division/adding/subtraction tables done in such a way
that the teacher could choose which numbers were to be selected and
practiced on any given day and by any given student. It should also,
then, be possible to pair up students collaboratively to answer these,
and once again, at the end of the session, collect the answers in a
score card or report, that could be saved or printed by the teacher.
