Org should be ideal for this. Each subtree can be configured with its own export settings, so e.g. you can use a different LaTeX style for the lecture slides, exams, and problem sets. Don't forget also that you can measure student progress in this file, too :) Org has a spreadsheet, and you could use it as a grade book if you wish. -- Regards, WGG
