[QTI] QTI suitable for 8-year-olds?

[Shivram Rajamanickam]

Dear Stefen,

I feel that you may also have an option of using an applet or a flash 
file to implement the tetris application using the object element in 
qti. I can see that in TOIA, they use the applets or flash file in the 
same manner and inside the applet, you can mention a method to return 
the appropriate score and later specify that method while authoring the 
question with TOIA. You can also use the custom interaction in the same 
manner as that of the TOIA applet function and create the functionality 
to return the score in your custom class.

Regards,
Shivram.
