        !            12: 	\item Unproctored survey interface: recorded, limited/unlimited tries, optional time limits, login required (Data should only be allowed to be seen stripped of identifying information, may be limited to ``Fixed'' and  ``Subjective Free-Form'' answer types.)
        !            13: 	\item Unproctored sample interface: unrecorded, unlimited tries, no time limits, no login required (maybe no class association required?)
        !            14: 	\item Unproctored practice interface: minimal record-keeping, unlimited or limited tries, possible calandar or duration limits, login required
        !            15: 	\item Unproctored homework interface: deatailed records, limited number of tries, optional calandar and duration limits, login required
        !            16: \end{enumerate}
        !            17: Each interface must also allow
        !            18: \begin{enumerate}
        !            19: 	\item static graphics for both problems and responses
        !            20: 	\item weights on a per problem part and problem basis
        !            21: 	\item hints and help pages can be added
        !            22: 	\item disabling of hints and help pages
        !            23: 	\item allow data extraction through a documented interface
        !            24: 	\item time based limits must be configurable on a per course, per section, and per student basis
        !            25: 	\item number of tries must be configurable on a per course, per section, and per student basis
        !            26: 	\item generic identification of MSU-enrolled students. (Expected to use PIDS)
        !            27: 	\item all interfaces should support purely electronic grading (?)
        !            28: 	\item Support mutiple answer types as one problem (all or nothing)
        !            29: 
        !            30: \end{enumerate}
        !            31: \section{Fixed Answer Format}
        !            32: These all come down to supporting a string response which is compared
        !            33: against the ``correct'' answer by respecting or ignoring, case, and
        !            34: order; these will need sutibale intefaces placed on top of this
        !            35: comparison mechanism so as to make it simple for a student to answer
        !            36: in the proper format.
        !            37: \begin{enumerate}
        !            38: 	\item True/Sometime True/False
        !            39: 	\item Multiple Choice (one or more choices true)
        !            40: 	\item Ranking
        !            41: 	\item Matching
        !            42: 	\item Fill in the blanks from a list of possible of words
        !            43: 	\item Fill in the blank (type in something exactly)
        !            44: \end{enumerate}
        !            45: \section{Numerical Format}
        !            46: Equal by value; needs to support these qualifiers
        !            47: \begin{enumerate}
        !            48: 	\item error range specificed by percentage, value, or functionally
        !            49: 	\item significant figures
        !            50: 	\item units, with/without prompting, with/without spaces
        !            51: \end{enumerate}
        !            52: \section{Matematical Expression Support}
        !            53: Mathmatical Expressions need to support three class of restrictions, each of these classes can be allowed or not allowed in a response.
        !            54: \begin{enumerate}
        !            55: 	\item Algebraic Functions
        !            56: 	\item Transcendental Functions
        !            57: 	\item Operators (Sum, Product, Derivative etc.)
        !            58: \end{enumerate}
        !            59: 
        !            60: Another restriction on how a student can respond is a complexity measure, if answer is ``too complex'' it can be disallowed. This can nominally be thought of a a parse tree depth. A too deep parse can be disallowed.
        !            61: 
        !            62: This answer type should support exact equivalence of any expression, purely numerical or with variables with ability to limit the class of possible responses by using the above categories.
        !            63: 
        !            64: \section{Subjective Free-Form Answer}
        !            65: 
        !            66: A student submits an answer that is graded by a TA or instructor.

        !            68: \section{Future Directions}
        !            69: \begin{enumerate}
        !            70: 	\item Student manipulation of graphical elments
        !            71: 	\item Student creation of graphical information
        !            72: 	\item Inequalities
