It would make sense to me, and be pretty awesome, if this activity shared a data format with Memorize. Memorize is all about matching, which goes hand in hand with basic flash-cards of many kinds. In effect, Memorize just takes sets of flash-cards and adds collaboration and spatial skills to the mix. Since memorize already allows media in the form of text, image, and audio, it seems it would likely suit a flash-card activity well. (Actually, naming it "Image Quiz" might be an unfair limitation on what it offers...perhaps "Quick Quiz" or something?) - Eben > Progress is slow because of other commitments.
