Summer of Code/2018/Sugarizer Exerciser Activity

About The Project:

The aim of the project is to create a Sugarizer Activity that can be used by the educators to create exercises for their students based on their curriculum. The educators will be able to enter the questions and answers into the activity and share that activity on the server for students to use. After the activity is shared the students on the server will be able to do the assignment and get a final score at the end.
