What's the course going to be run from - a learning management system? If so, what kind? Most support SCORM 1.2 which unfortunately can be quite limiting in this regard. No support for file uploads, for a start... it's also quite limited in terms of capturing user input.

The textInput component will save the user's responses to SCORM's cmi.interactions data fields, but not all Learning Management Systems support this - and, even when they do, only allow for storing 255 characters of text, so is really only intended for 'a question with a simple one- or few-word answer'
