And Daniel, we could do it both ways, but that isn't really the point of XML, I think. We want to have all the data in one file that we can parse through and show in multiple formats. If we have the data twice in two files, that gives us two places to make updates and two places where things could go wrong or get out of sync.

Daniel, I see what you are saying, but I think if we design it like Frank and Ajith mentioned above, it wouldn't really be that much extra work, and it allows us to start collecting data now.
However, I am assuming that we want to keep the history of students. Personally I like having that because it helps us analyze the CattleDrive. What is the average number of attempts for Say? How far do students get before they usually drop out? How long (in terms of days or months) does it take to complete a particular assignment?
Marilyn, I think the above question is more for you. What do you think? Do we go with a more robust, but more complicated and more time to build solution like Frank has shown? Or do we scale it back and just get the basic stuff up?
