Markup languages for educational assessment

[Joshua Gay]

I thought some of you may be interested in a blog post I published on markup languages for educational assessment materials (with a focus on self-check type quizes).  The post discusses three different free/open markup languages that exist: Moodle's GIFT format, Connexions Question Markup Language, and the eLesson Markup Language (eLML). I conclude that none of these are great and that it would be nice if there was an independent project that went about creating a good free and open markup language for sharing assessment materials.
