I've never heard of these, but I did a similar thing for HTML+JS and
LaTeX:

https://github.com/mbork/org-edu-html
https://github.com/mbork/org-edu-latex

My markup was to use lists with checkboxes, and check the correct
answer(s).

I would do it in a separate function altogether, so that I could
e.g. first create a random set of questions, and then run an exporter to
generate the test.

Tomorrow I'm giving a talk during EmacsConf2015
(http://emacsconf2015.org/) about custom Org exporters.  Notes and code
are available here: https://github.com/mbork/ox-oddmuse .
