===Education Standards===
===Education Standards===
As a general API and not a standalone Activity, along with the nature of the API in specific, this project does not directly address any specific education standards or learning outcomes. It is reliant on educators to write questions, or have questions available to them in usable formats. As such, the potential educational standards this project could help to meet includes **any** standard where drilling or question/response evaluation is appropriate. (This includes a wider range of topic areas than the Math4 focus, even.)

====A Teacher's Guide Abstract====
Per the nature of this API, we've decided that our “Teacher Guide” will be more of an abstract. Below is a hypothetical situation of the Question Support API:
** Imagine a school manages a repository of quiz material that fit's it's curriculum at Moodle.org (for example the 4th Grade Math curriculum; see: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Gdk/4th_Grade_Maths ). The teacher's use of our API design might go something like this: An activity that has extended / implemented our API is started by the teacher. The teacher is presented with an input field that requires a URI (URL). The teacher enters the URI of this week's quiz (i.e. http://moodle.org/SchoolName/ClassName/Week_11_Quiz/ ) The activity fetches the specified quiz data from the web, and presents the teacher with a summary and confirmation dialog box. Upon confirmation, the teacher can send / assign the quiz to the class. The class starts their corresponding activity which then also has a mechanism to either grab the assigned quiz from the Moodle.org server or from the local “School Server” (also-known-as the XS server; see; http://wiki.laptop.org/go/School_server ). The student's complete their assigned quiz, and data is sent back to the server for reporting / grading.
