Project presentation
The goal of this project is to convert exercises (quizzes) created with OpenOffice (ODT format) and available for free at http://aleccor.pagesperso-orange.fr/, into the Opale format, to make them usable in the Scenari platform.
Those quizzes called exOOOs, are made for an educational purpose and aim several fields (History, Geography, English etc.).
There are several types of quizzes or exercises: cloze (texte à trous), MCQ, etc.
The creator of these exercises use macros, and other specific components of OpenOffice to create interactive quizzes.
So the idea is to convert these quizzes into Opale. In the first phase of this project, we will focus on the texte à trou type of exercises.
This project is an explorative project, because we didn't how OpenOffice and more specially the ODT format, handles these quizzes (macros etc) and if we can develop a reliable solution to convert those quizzes into Opale.

Known limits
Only the cloze type of exercises is handled for now. And there are some known technical limitations due to the ODT format that can generate random issues or bad conversions.
