So you need to be able to create, edit, destroy those. So pretty
standard REST interface there. You could use the rails scaffold for
this as it is only an admin interface rather than a user i/f.

So that is a boolean saying that this user has completed that quiz?
So you could use a join table between users and quiz for that.

Don't worry about what the urls look like, work out what functionality
you want, and go from there. The requirements drive the urls not the
other way round. Think of it as an application not a series of web
pages.
