You forgot the backslash in front of your values.
It’s also bad style to misuse the \title command for your document title
because \title is only the unnumbered version of \chapter, nothing else.
Another way to create your document title is the following code:
\setupcolors [state=start]
\definecolor [colorone] [r=0.625,g=0,b=0] %dark red
\definecolor [colortwo] [b=0.625,g=0,r=0] %dark blue
\startsetups examtitle
\startframedtext
[
width=broad,
frame=off,
align=middle,
foregroundcolor=colortwo,
background=shadow,
]
{\definedfont[RegularSlanted sa 2.5]\getvariable{exam}{title}}
\blank
\getvariable{exam}{course}
\stopframedtext
\blank[big]
\startcolor[colortwo]
\doifelsevariable{exam}{date}{\expanded{\date[\getvariable{exam}{date}]}}{\currentdate}
\hfill
Start: \getvariable{exam}{start}
\space
Stop: \getvariable{exam}{stop}
\stopcolor
\blank
\stopsetups
\setvariables[exam][set={\setups[examtitle]}]
\starttext
\setvariables
[exam]
[ title=Mid-term 2010,
course=ES2917,
date={d=17,m=2,y=2010},
start={9:00 am},
stop={11:00 am}]
\stoptext
