 +
# '''Individual Test Distribution Story'''
 +
## A teacher shares/broadcasts the question.xml files to all the students in the class.
 +
## The question.xml file is displayed in the Educational Toolkit GUI with all the questions rendered using the notebook Control of PyGTK.
 +
## The students work individually on the problems and the answer.xml files generated by each student are sent back to the teacher.
 +
 
 +
# '''Group Test Taking Story'''
 +
## Teacher/Student has distributed the question.xml files to all the students. The person who starts this test also forms the group i.e. sends an invite to the neibouring xos to join to form a group.
 +
## The students are sharing their activities in the form of groups.
 +
## A student marks an answer of any question.
 +
## The answer gets reflected on every student of the group i.e. it is multicasted. Two ways of doing it: Either generate an intermediate answer.xml file OR call a remote method on every person in the group using DBUS.
 +
 
 +
# '''Question Generation Story'''
 +
## Please note that a question does not mean an MCQ or True/False only, but can mean a general problem, a slide, fact or anything. A question specifically contains:
 +
### text
 +
### answer space(or no answer space)
 +
### images
 +
### audio(stretch goal)
 +
## A GUI to enable a person(teacher/student) to make a question with the above mentioned ingrediants. Note that a question can span mutiple screens also.
 +
## No rendering information of the question needs to be provided as it will be rendered automatically.
 +
## Stretch Goal : Enable the user to specify rendering information through GUI.
 +
## Question.xml file will be generated.
 +
 
 +
# '''Review Answers'''
 +
## Teacher has got 3 files : question.xml; answer.xml and student_answer.xml
 +
## The two answer files are displayed along with the question.xml to enable a teacher to review the answers of the students.
 +
## A marks.xml file is generated if teacher wishes to give numerical marks. '''Though this feature is subject to discussion. Since, this software does not want to promote the current examination system of awarding marks in tests. We have already seen a lot of suicides by students after scoring less marks who were under tremendous peer/teacher/parent pressure to advocate it'''
