==Description==
==Description==
A custom [http://moodle.org/ Moodle] [http://docs.moodle.org/en/Quiz_module quiz module] which, in addition to the standard Moodle quiz features, analyzes the questions posed to the student for various qualities, such as compliance with [[User:Gdk/4th_Grade_Maths | Curriculum Standards]].
A custom [http://moodle.org/ Moodle] [http://docs.moodle.org/en/Quiz_module quiz module] which, in addition to the standard Moodle quiz features, analyzes the questions posed to the student for various qualities, such as compliance with [[Math4Team/Resources/Curriculum Chart | Curriculum Standards]].
The modified Moodle modules will run on a customized XS School Server operating system. Our goal is to allow results and / or grades, from student activities to be readily available to teachers. Based on their wants and needs, the teachers can then generate custom reports on a class or student and have the ability to determine what types of problems students are finding most difficult. In the end we imagine the XS environment running on an XO itself, allowing the teachers the same portability as the students.

Our project is not intended for a direct use by students. Components (not yet developed) under the scope of our project exist on students computer's in so far as facilitating the data movement from the XO to the XS. Therefore, there are no directions for students on how to use our application, it will be entirely transparent to them. When a student begins an activity which is compatible with our application, it will automatically report information to the API. Our application will then read this information from the API and produce reports to the teacher. We envision this interface to be web based, allowing the teacher to select particular games, and as a subcategory, the particular curriculum requirements in which that game uses.
