I dream about an app for students to manage quizzes. Students would be able to design quizzes for a particular topic, using multiple choice, pictures etc.
Other students can take quizzes, crowd rate, like, vote and comment on it.
This is beneficial for both the quiz creators and the quiz users. And it makes learning university stuff fun, hopefully.

Have you reviewed the open-source or free quiz-makers out there? There appear to be a lot. What would distinguish yours?

This should be primarily available as a mobile app in the app stores. Students today do not own or use computers as I used to when I was studying back in the 90s. When I see my daughter using her smallish smartphone to read regular PDF science papers I have to keep me from hyperventilating. But I have to acknowledge that this is the current way to go, and we have an answer to this - reactive design.
So this would be mobile first.

Plus: the collaborative + the social gameing approach would be core.

I haven't seen something like this in the app stores - maybe I haven't looked sharp enough?

BTW. This would be open source. Anyone interested?

I think this is a great idea for students. I'd try hard to strip this down to its most useful core and build on it with feedback from there. Things like this risk growing in scope. I'd try hard to keep a lid on that.

Thanks for the heads-up.
The problem for me is more the limited time I can spend on that. I think as soon as it gets drive I would have to flinch...
