1,332 PointsQuiz System with Badges
Hi all, I want to make a quiz system with badges that are stored in the users profile. Very much like what happens here on Treehouse! However, I don't even know where to start with this. Any ideas?

1,332 PointsHello Greg! Ideally, I would build this into the website I am making. I am a classroom teacher. The website is simple - uses bootstrap. I would like my students to be able to take end of lesson quizzes, just like we do here on Treehouse and for this to save to their own profile system.
Thank you for your thoughts so far.

9,874 PointsHmmm, there are various ways you could go about this, but I would say maybe even take a look into this lesson here. It's a simple Ruby on Rails application, but it goes into creating logins, and profiles, and creating a small application. All of which sounds like it could wrap together nicely for what you are asking.
Be aware, what you're asking isn't TOO simple. It's "complicated" to start, but once you get the idea down, you are good to go.
If you don't want to take too much time into coding, you can maybe even look into creating online quizzes using things like Google Docs. Not as solid as what you are looking for, but gives you some flexibility to prototype your ideas quickly. Links for some ideas here: 1, 2, and 3

1,332 PointsThanks Greg! I did start the Ruby track before, but drifted off half way through it. I will continue on with the RoR route then, in hopes that I might be able to do this in a few months. I know of Google Docs form quizzes, but they aren't really what I am looking for! Thank you for your help and guidance.
