Description

I would like to introduce some new features and tweaks to an already existing drupal quiz module (http://drupal.org/project/quiz). These features would make it more robust, feature rich and user friendly. This project aims at improving the usability of Drupal in e-Learning domain.

The overall idea of this project is to turn an existing quiz module into an academically oriented quiz engine for use in Drupal based e-Learning websites.

The existing Quiz modules is still fairly basic. Before it can really be considered a competitive tool for administering academic quizzes, it needs a robust and polished set of features. That's what my GSoC project is about. Taking a GOOD but basic project and making it into a GREAT project.
