Hi Peter and Sakai community
During July's conference Samigo ( Tests & Quizzes) BOF, Peter Liu of Yale briefly described an  enhancement that would automatically make recommendations to students for the level of math they should be taking based on a placement test offered in Tests & Quizzes (or if I recall right, possibly even communicate with the registrar to disallow them to register for anything higher)

I would like to learn more and I'm wondering if there are others interested in this functionality?  While none of the 3 subjects that hold placement tests currently conduct their testing within Sakai, we want to be prepared should interest develop.

Peter, if people are interested, is this contributable, or highly specialized to Yale's environment? Are you willing to demo? I had offered to have you demo at one of our monthly meetings at 11 pacific, 2 eastern. August 6 is already booking up, but Tues September 3 and October 1 are open. Let me know if you are willing--if we get at least two others, it might be worth it.
