@first my intention was to make answering more fun, like matching done by draging.
0) Lets say, we have a html page with lesson stuff
1) js indexes page and assigns id to every element (even word, using span if needed)
2.1) we assign some ansewer areas (in image-map, or jsut make some div or span)
2.2) we assign object-elements (span, div, whatever ;)), which should be dragged on appropriate answer area
3) we can set the right answer maches by:
- answer_areaID => objectID
- answer_areaID => value (if it is text (innerHtml))
- sth else ;)
*) Drag&Drop js can be used to arrange things arround http://cross-browser.com/#draggingExamplesLink
more js power:

http://www.js-games.de/en/index.html (students should like it
http://www.javascript-games.org/ (impressive as well)
still, this is just an idea
but it could bring answering to the level of modelling - as U can include js to make elements move, count values on the fly and so on.

hm, now I thought that probably U can inclue html (with js) directly in any question and it would let Drag&Drop, just we (or just me ;) should think, how to fill in asnwers acording to the results of actions...

I will really not have time for this till summer, but maybe some more ideas or volunteers will come up
