Wikiqu

Wikiqu is a new edutech project, the successor to Wikisoba. It will be launched on 20 February at the Education Summit.

Executive summary

Qu stands for "question", and probably for other things such as "quiz". Questions are to be treated as data, and basic technology such as Lua programming transferred so as to render questions onto MediaWiki pages, from a question database that is a wiki. This approach allows multiple applications, and has the security advantages of a system where the processing of answers is done server-side.
