[SDCBC] EC qualification by testing only

[Serge Issakov]

I'm envisioning something much more interactive.

Read something, Watch a short clip, read some more, answer some questions,
read some more, watch another short clip, more reading, more questions, etc.

And the questions I envision would not just be multiple choice.  They would
be also include mini projects, like requiring the student to identify along
say a 5 mile stretch of one of their common routes where the rightmost lane
is wide enough to be shared, or has a bike lane or shoulder, or is too
narrow to be shared.  Another mini-project might be to stop at red lights in
the middle of the lane (regardless of lane width), up at the stop line (if
first), or behind the last car already stopped, for at least 50 miles of
urban/suburban cycling (not necessarily all in one trip), and then write
about the experience.  Another mini-project might involve doing a certain
number of counter-clockwise (left turns) laps around a block where at least
one of the streets is fairly busy, in order to practice negotiation, merging
and signaling.
