Has anyone done any work on a question / answer module. We have to build one and I just wanted to determine if anyone has broken ground on this before. Here are some details. This is a pretty standard assessment type application, but I have not seen anything in the DNN world to do this yet.

So I am wondering if while we are building out this custom module, should we possibly abstract it out a little to allow it to serve a more general purpose assessment and we could then put it on the marketplace. I would appreciate your thoughts.

1. Need to pull in a set up questions based on user role
2. Provide user with ability to answer questions with possible answers pulled in from a lookup table
3. Need to provide user with the ability to SKIP a question, MARK a question for later review, perform the review of Marked or Unanswered Questions and Submit the assessment once complete
4. Need some basic scoring based on rules.

Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

Aside from marking the question for later review, I believe the first three items are possible in Enterprise Forms. I would have to figure out the mechanics of making questions available by role, but I think this could be done.

You can set up Enterprise Forms work flow to move the form from a state of new to saved (with a save button for the user) which will not submit the data but will allow the user to come back to complete later. I have put that to effective use. If they come back to fill out some questions, and save again for later completion, that works.

As far as scoring/weighting user responses (number 4), I'd suggest to do that after-market in a sproc rather than in Enterprise Forms itself.

I have the concept for a "quiz" module laid out, but i have yet to actually implement any code for it.

I would have similar features, however, the mark for review option was not something that is in my spec.
