[Qt-creator] QT-Creator project management - looking for advice

[Eric Anderson]

I am looking at QT Creator as a possible platform for teaching C++ to High
School Students.  I am the software mentor for a FIRST Robotics team that
uses C++ to program its robots.  For the actual robot programming, we use
Eclipse (Wind River Workbench) but that environment is limited by the amount
of robot hardware we have.  I would also like to have a system that the
students can use in their home environments.

QT looks good for this, since it is self contained and easy to install.

Here is what I would like to do.  I'm looking for suggestions on how to do
it (or alternatives)

   - I create an example project that illustrate particular concepts, and
   assign tasks based on the example.
   - I give each programming student a copy of the project and an assignment
   using that project.
   - The students complete their tasks and submit copies of their projects
   to me for evaluation.
   - I build and execute the returned projects so I can evaluate both the
   operation and the coding.

The problem that I am having is with project management.  I'm working
through the example projects but I'm not seeing how to copy projects, or
relocate them.  I need to come up with a system that will allow many similar
projects to not interfere with each other, and promote ease of relocation as
the projects are moved from machine to machine.

Suggestions, anecdotes of experience, and pointers to specific documentation
sections or books on QT will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
