[Sugar-devel] Image Quiz Activity

[Tony Anderson]

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).

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.
