Question Sets

Question Sets is a web interface to a database which contains information for asking multiple-choice questions. These questions can be retrieved through http request in with clients created for STEAM games. The web interface provides easy editing of the questions that are used in games for novice users. Also after answering each question the results are then submitted back to the database in real-time for teachers to oversee student's progress.




The question sets interface allows users to create a set and either create questions or add existing questions to that set. The questions have properties such as author, gradelevel, content area, difficulty. Each question can have a diagram or audio file associated with it. Also each set is able to have subsets in order to further subdivide the sets.



The questions can be retrieve from the database through an http request using one of the provided clients(documentation exists for writing your own client). When questions are answered the result can be posted back to the database and displayed in real-time. Filters can be applied to view different results and also the results can be downloaded into an excel file.
