“…Several systems for automatic assessment of programming assignments exist, with different levels of support and feedback, as discussed in [12]. In our case the complexity of the tests can vary, but they constitute an automated line of action that will rely on human assistance only when necessary: the TAs will be called fewer times and their overall availability will increase.…”

“…Automatically checking student programming work has been researched for many years [31], [32], and is still an active area [12], [33]. Whilst it is possible to use these techniques to address, for instance, issues of scale, the level of feedback and assistance still lags behind what can be achieved with direct support from experienced teaching assistants.…”

Abstract-We describe an education model that was developed and put in place to improve student engagement and attainment in a first year undergraduate programming course.The work is founded in a checkpoint-based formative assessment experiment undertaken for two years, the success of which is analysed in this document. The results provide evidence leading to a move towards a blended model of education, which requires the design of a software application to support the system. We present the main features of that application, covering aspects that range from traditional approaches and established delivery methods, to e-learning and MOOCs with, for instance, gamification.This blended model of education fosters the development of a teaching practice that adapts to student diversity through informed teaching.

“…Each of these offers some features i.e., VERKKOKE introduced a feature that make it compatible with the existing popular Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle and Optima via SCORM package. Petri et al (2010) presented a systematic literature review of the more recent AASs. They argued that there were many systems developed by researchers, where the prototypes were mainly for internal use.…”

In a learning environment, a low student-lecturer ratio is considered a practical solution by many educational institutions. However, the number of students in information technology is increasing every year. This could lead to a significant increase in the workload of lecturers, who need to evaluate assignments, quizzes and projects. Hence, it is desirable that an automated assessment tool is used to lessen their workload. In the era where mobile devices are getting popularity, the high demand to execute suitable quality code is there and the cost is on the processing power of the CPU which has a direct implication on the power source or the battery used. With various implementations of cryptography algorithms available, many of them could satisfy different level of needs. In this research, we introduce the architecture for a multi-layered security of automated assessment of programming code. First, we review the existing research studies in the area. We describe the features of the tool, as part of a complex elearning environment. We also discuss the implementation of security, to protect data transmission and storage used by the tool. Challenges the system might face and the potential solutions, are also described.

La evaluación es una parte fundamental de la enseñanza. Permite tanto a los estudiantes como a los profesores medir el grado deéxito obtenido en el proceso de aprendizaje. De hecho, la evaluación no debería usarse solo para puntuar, sino que debe ser parte integral de la educación, y proporcionar a los alumnos retroalimentación inmediata. Obviamente, la evaluación debe ser objetiva y justa, y tratar a todos los alumnos por igual. Esto ocurre, p.e., en exámenes de respuesta múltiple, pero, desafortunadamente, no está asegurado en la evaluación de código programado por alumnos, puesto que su corrección es todavía un proceso manual y propenso a errores e interpretaciones. En este artículo proponemos un sistema semi-automático de evaluación de código que utiliza técnicas de caja negra (basadas en output-comparison) y técnicas de caja blanca (que observan las propiedades internas del código). El método propuesto incluye nuevas ideas y técnicas que le permiten evaluar incluso código que no compila.
