Have you heard of webworks? I'm not sure if it's in-house at UCI. Webworks is a little more structured in that it has entries for a list of questions, that are then checked. It's targeted at undergrad calculus only, so usually students enter a number or a function; functions are compared to known answer functions by evaluating at enough points to be confident the functions agree. I wonder if it would be best to have a worksheet build a data structure of answers. In fact, I like this a lot -- you teach students (or provide interacts for them) to build a data structure: ANSWERS["Question 1"] = 5; ANSWERS["Question 2"] = sin(x); etc. I haven't thought about this in much detail, but I'm curious to see the results.
