[IAEP] stat collecto activity

[David Van Assche]

yeah been talking to teacher tools guys, and the prototype is great (though
flash) but would eventually be in Python. Im currently adding the
functionality to pyqclic, as it seems an easy addition and a natural
evolution for having a more complete test on a subject. What I had asked
some adviced/ideas on are different types of questions.... weve got multiple
choice, visual label based, fill in the blank, all the correct answers....
any others? Imagine this based on particular subjects

thanks

kind regards,
David Van Assche
