Probably the simplest way to keep track of different projects is to give your 
students a copy of the same folder (containing the assignment) with different 
names of the .pro file (like "Test-0001.pro", "Test-0002.pro", ... "Test-
NNNN.pro").

You can keep the mapping from the "project number" to the student.

Or just give them the same copy, the mapping list, and tell them to rename the 
.pro "project file" into "prefix-UID.pro" and the folder into "prefix-UID".

A qt project is "relocatable" with QtCreator, just be sure to do a "Build > 
Clean All" and "Build > Run qmake" when moving the project folder.

If you are going to use a versioning system, like svn (maybe easier for first 
timers) or git, keep in mind that it may be easier for the students to 
download, and you already have the whole subfolders structure in place, but 
the students may "peek" into each other's folder ;-)
