“…1. This feature set is compatible with the Abello et al's requirements for e-assessment system (''allow the delivery of assessment activities, the recording of responses, timely feedback, automatic grading, and weighted-average grade calculation'') [26], Noonan's grading system phases (''delivery, assessment, marking, return'') [27], and extends the Wang et al's. conception of a web-based assessment and test analysis (WATA) system based on Triple A model (''assembling, administering, appraising'') [28].…”

Automated Programming Assessment Systems (APAS) are used for overcoming problems associated with manually managed programming assignments, such as objective and efficient assessing in large classes and providing timely and helpful feedback. In this paper we survey the literature and software in this field and identify the set of necessary features that make APAS comprehensive -such that it can support all key stages in the assessment process. Put differently, comprehensive APAS is generic enough to meet the demands of ''any'' computer science course. Despite the vast number of publications, the choice of software turns out to be very limited. We contribute by developing Edgar, a comprehensive open-source APAS which, to the best of our knowledge, exceeds any other similar free and/or open-source tool. Edgar is the result of three years of development and usage in, for the time being, eight courses dealing with various programming languages and paradigms (C, Java, SQL, etc.). Edgar supports various text-based programming languages, multi-correct multiple-choice questions, provides rich exam logging and monitoring infrastructure to prevent potential fraudulent behaviour, and subsequent data analysis and visualization of students' scores, exams, question quality, etc. It can be deployed on all major operating systems and is written in a modular fashion so that it can be adjusted and scaled to a custom fit. We comment on the architecture and present data from real-world use-cases to support these claims. Edgar is in active use today (1000+ students per semester) and it is being constantly developed with new features.

“…Therefore we advocate the inclusion of the SQL grading component into a general purpose web-based grading tool such as WebCAT ( [5]) or general purpose CMS such as Moodle. There are also other learning management systems described in the literature: [16] introduces a generic automated grading system which may be used for different types of courses. Good experiences are reported for different programming classes; the system is not web-based though, but rather requires a full client application.…”

In this paper we present a concept and prototypical implementation of a software system (aSQLg) to automatically assess SQL statements. The software can be used in any introductory database class that teaches students the use of SQL. On one hand it increases the efficiency of grading students submissions of SQL statements for a given problem statement by automatically determining a score for the statement based on different aspects. On the other hand it may also be used to improve student learning of SQL statements by enabling them to continuously (re-)submit their solutions and determine improvements in quality by comparing the automatically determined scores. In order to keep the administrative overhead for using it minimal we have implemented the software in a way that it may be plugged into any course/learning management system with minimal overhead. We have used it in conjunction with WebCAT as well as our own proprietary course management system. Student feedback collected after its first usage in a database class shows promising results for future usage of the system.

“…Most of this research has been in the context of using tablet computers during lecture [1,2] or similar areas, such as providing peer-review comments in a CS1 course [3]. Research on examinations has focused on a wide variety of topics, from how to interpret exams [9], to automatic grading of programs [4], to detecting plagiarism [5,8], to grading systems [6]. A similar grading system was presented in [7], but that system focused on grading completely online submissions, not paper-based exams.…”

We present the design and implementation of a system which allows a standard paper-based exam to be graded via tablet computers. The paper exam is given normally in a course, with a specialized footer that allows for automated recognition of each exam page. The exam pages are then scanned in via a high-speed scanner, graded by one or more people using tablet computers, and returned electronically to the students. The system provides many advantages over regular paper-based exam grading, and boasts a faster grading experience than traditional grading methods.
