One or two things on this matter :
- EduML has first been created for dealing with those data most needing
to be exchanged from software to software. Especially scores, or logins,
or telephone number, and lots of data (see eduml spec) that would
otherwise get typed many times by different people. As an educational
project manager, you should seriously consider this goal of
simplification.
- XML is a useful data format, it can bring readability to your project.
I don't think if any universal format for educational ressources, only
guidelines (see eduml.anet.fr/specs for examples). 
- Finding an appropriate XML format should be possible for your project,
for as far as we know of it. 
- If you want automatic correction, you could have a look to Promath
project and specifications (cran.seul.org/~ob). Promath is a specific
tool for that purpose, not only for mathematics.
