Justin, I have taken a look at your project, a "fill-in-the-blanks" 
extension for MediaWiki.  Your abstract, to help others in the thread:

Thanks for the mockup at 
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/Fill-in-the-blanks.jpg which 
is useful.

Would users who want to be quizzed turn it on in their user 
preferences?  Or are you envisioning a per-page switch/button?  Or some 
kind of combination of these?

This might be too detailed for right now, but would you do stemming or 
something like that to allow for almost-right answers?

best,
Sumana Harihareswara
