Feature Request: New Activity/Assessment Question Type - "Short Answer"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Current activity and assessment types appear to be variants of multiple choice. 
 This is restrictive, repetitive and boring if overused.  I suggest adding 
other question types for use in both activities and assessments.

The "Short Answer" question type would allow students to enter a short string 
into a space provided.  Regular expression checking would allow the student's 
answer to be matched against one (or more) "correct" answer(s) provided by the 
assessor.

You might use crowdsourcing to make the students rate the answer from 0 to 10 
(totally incorrect to absolutelly correct).

This is what Coursera do and it works perfectly, it engages students and they 
feel their value when collaborating and helping the teacher

This is available as regular expressions in both activities and assessments:
