CMS, a secure and scalable web-based course management system developed by the Cornell University Computer Science Department, helps manage the workflow associated with running a course. Our goal in designing the system was to simplify, streamline, and automate all workflow aspects, such as course creation and importing students into it, student group management, assignment submission, assignment of graders, grading, regrade requests, and preparation of final grades. In contrast, other course management systems that we are aware of provide only specialized solutions for specific components, such as grading. This system is increasingly widely used for course management at Cornell University. The system was designed to support large courses with low administrative overhead. In this paper we describe the design of the system and the features that were found to be useful, and articulate its design principles.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
