Many comments.

- You can set up a single org file with tagged headings, like this:
  * These are my slides			      :slide:
  * These are my Lecture Notes		    :lecture:
  * Here are Exam questions		       :exam:
  * Here be Exercises	 		              :exer:
  * Organisation of everything		      :organ:

- Then when it comes time to export you can do the
  #+EXCLUDE_TAGS: slide exam exer organ
  which will export your lecture notes.

- Set up a PROPERTY line for each heading to tangle to different
  places (if desired), like this:
  * Organisation of everything		      :organ:
  :PROPERTIES:
  :tangle:   organ.R
  :END:

- Beamer is a case all its own.  It might be easier to have a
  single big Beamer org file which has all slides and then another
  org file(s) for everything else.  Maybe I'm wrong, though; try it!

- Org publishing is very powerful.  You can set up assorted
  publishing projects to do almost /anything/.

- I have some example org-publishing setup from some time ago.  I
  haven't updated these to the new exporter but it can at least
  give you an idea about what used to be possible:

- Regarding exams/quizzes, at first I used LaTeX, then moved to
  LyX a long time ago, then managed to get an example Org file
  working, then it stopped working (and it seemed easier to do with
  LyX anyway), so I went back to LyX, but now the new exporter is
  out, so after reading your message I went back to see if I
  could get the old example working again, and I did!

- My personal workflow is to put the book in one org file, then
  lecture notes in another org file, then grades in another org
  file. YMMV.

- The book is a lengthy org file which is still in the much
  lengthier process of conversion to the new exporter.

Good luck and best wishes.
