here is a posting from the http://www.imsproject.org public forum,
and an example of what XML in education software can look like (see below)

   Follow-up to Anonymous, Proposed DTD for Assessment (Monday, 8/10 11:57 AM EDT)
   This is a working draft for a XML DTD for the transfer of questions between and inside
   distance learning tools on the internet.
   As the basis of our file format we have used WebCT files and the IMS
   Specification.
   Currently the "SATML" (Standardized Assessment and Testing Markup Language) can describe
   four types of online-questions, Multiple Choice, Short Answer, Calculated and Matching
   questions.
   We are planning to expand this to also include assessments and test data.
   The idea is that distance learning tools on the internet should be able to export and
   import .SATML files the same way graphics tools can export and import .GIF giles, to
   enable teachers/course developers to cooperate even if they are using different tools.
   For more information about individual elements in the DTD please consult
   http://132.170.199.196/tessweb/test.htm
   or the SATML project homepage
   http://132.170.199.196/satml/
