• Can turn their questionnaire “Qui suis-je” into an interactive quiz using http://www.socrative.com/  I’m not sure how that might work, but they can try it to see if they can do anything with it, or, they can simply do a final edit of the project they already submitted using my corrections, then email it to me and I can try Socrative later.
