Automated Assessment in the Internet Classroom.
Dave Barker-Plummer, Robert Dale, Richard Cox, John Etchemendy · 2008
A likely feature of the Internet classroom is automated assessment of student exercises. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the Grade Grinder, an Internet-based assessment service developed for use with logic-teaching courseware. We discuss the utility of this platform both as a pedagogical resource, and as a provider of data for research on student problem-solving. We end by making some observations in regard to the scope for extending this approach beyond the domain of logic-teaching to other domains.
