href="mailto:fgrose@gmail.com">fgrose@gmail.com</A>><BR><BR><BR>Hi,<BR><BR>ImageQuiz
uses a cvs file format for questions. I have added an XML file format.
Currently, both files are used to load questions<BR>into an sqllite
database.<BR><BR>For me, the problem is figuring out how to interface with the
journal/datastore. In a hierarchical file system, quizzes would be sets of
questions<BR>in XML or CVS format within categories determined by the folder
names. An imagequiz_library would be a base folder containing these quizzes.
This organization does not map well to the journal/datastore at present. In
time, there will be a journal objectchooser which can show entries of the proper
mimetype in the journal or in specific repositories on the schoolserver, usb
keys, etc.<BR><BR>Another problem is whether the unit should be a set of
questions or a question. This is similar to the issue of where to store an image
or mp3 file and how to organize a set of them. Perhaps the journal could have an
album where a single question (or image or mp3) could be located by tag (album
name) by looking in many different albums (similar to picasso for
example).<BR><BR>The implementation I am working on will find sets of questions
(called quizzes) and map them into categories based on the folder structure. The
base will be 'imagequiz_library' and, hopefully, there would be one in the
activity bundle (built-in samples), on the schoolserver, and on removable
drives.<BR><BR>The focus of ImageQuiz is matching an image or a place in an
image to the answer to a question. For language learning, I am setting up a
question bank where the question is an audio clip (e.g. 'ball' spoken in the
target language), and a set of pictures, one of which shows a ball (or a picture
of several objects where the answer is to click on the ball). ImageQuiz will
also support standard flash cards (text question, text answer) plus combinations
like audio question, text answer. Sadly, speech recognition isn't ready to
support audio question, audio answer.<BR><BR>Tony<BR><BR>---<BR>This e-mail was
