Well... it you have a large enough "question bank" for a given 
assignment, then the chances of
everyone getting the same exam are pretty slim. However, the feature you 
suggest definitely sounds
interesting.  I actually have a copy of a stripped out eledge testing 
engine that is highly modified.
It is literally meant to be used as an "Assessement module" (ie, we use 
this engine and the associated exam as an aid to placing new students in 
appropriate level courses). This particular engine only displays a 
single question at a time... certainly it could be adapted to what you 
discuss.
Additionally, we are considering using the "navigo" 
(http://sourceforge.net/project/navigo) testing
engine (when they finally release ;) in future versions of eledge. It 
is/will be IMS and OKI (and therefore SCORMS) compliant, and should be 
quit full featured... we'll see what happens. =)
