[Phys-L] Question Bank



Hello,

My name is Marcos Mattana and I'm a physics teacher from Rio - Brazil.
I wish to share about my daily pain: *creating lists and tests*
I'm so tired of this task because it takes my time to read and learn more
about physics and computer science. Instead, I'm wasting time and effort
typing, copying images and so on.
I decided to implement a permanent solution to it creating a question bank
where users can *find questions just like google find websites*. Also,
*creating
exercises lists must be easy as creating playlists at music websites like
spotify.*

A prototype is going on at www.paperx.com.br

To make sure that everybody understand the purpose of this msg:

1) This is not an adv, I'm interested in teachers and principals opinions
about if they would pay for a service like this.

2) The idea is: *users search and access questions and pdf lists for free*.
The paid service is to export lists in .doc format and to have a cloud
database.

3) For the future we want to implement online judge so that a community is
created and the questions and lists can be ranked as users try to solve it.

4) We are developing the application using Rails

Best,

Marcos Mattana
