I've seen web ads that have a scratch off feature (use mouse to scratch over an area and opens something underneath) - so I'm sure technologically it is very possible, just don't know anyone who is interested in doing it. There are also online exams that give feedback, but haven't found some that permit variable scoring. But we are exploring a web-based program called LAMS (the Learning Activity Management System). It appears to enable you to set up a web-based exam, feedback, and variable feedback - will let you know if it works.
We do worry about some of the elements of the scratch off and the group dynamics if the exams are on computer rather than paper. Gonna see how that is impacted.

Subject: Re: online IF-AT
Dan Robinson at UT Austin does indeed have a PC version of IF-AT
Guess we could have at least one student per team bring a laptop.....hope
our wireless network can take it
The most popular clicker...iClicker has no mechanism for feedback....so they
couldnąt be tweaked to do this
I still think there is something fun, social, engaging with the scratch
off....that might be lost on a computer :-)
