Specs for a learning exercise module

I'm working on a site that will have lessons on HTML, CSS and such. Each lesson will be like this:

Lesson cycles

I'm planning on writing a Drupal module to manage the exercises. Any feedback?

Goals

Each exercise will have:

  • Title, e.g., Create a nav bar.

  • Description. Include link to a solution.

  • Learner's solution. Each learner will enter the text of a solution. Often it will just be a URL.

Site about Web development, based on learning research

Hi,

I'm creating a site to help people learn how to be a Weber, that is, someone who gets paid to do Web work.

The site's design is informed by learning research, particularly constructivism and phenomenography. That's where the site's value proposition comes from: lessons designed to help humans learn effectively and efficiently.

I wrote a short document on the design, showing how I derived the design by joining learner goals and learning theory. If anyone's interested, I'd like to get some feedback on the ideas. The site is still very much a work-in-progress.
