An Infrastructure for Mechanised Grading
نویسنده
چکیده
Mechanised grading is nowmature. In this paper, we propose elements for the next step: building a commodity infrastructure for grading. We propose — an architecture for a grading component able to be embedded into various learning environments, — a set of extensible Internet-based protocols to interact with this component, and — a self-contained file format to thoroughly define an exercise in order to ease deployment. The infrastructure was designed to be scalable, robust and secure. First experiments with a partial implementation of this platform show the versatility and the neutrality of the grading component. It does not impose any IDE and it respects the tenets of the embedding learning environment or course-based system.

Mechanised grading: the next step
Mechanised grading is now mature: lots of experiments proved it. In this paper, we propose elements for the next step: standardisation. We propose — an architecture for a grading component able to be embedded into various learning environments, — a set of extensible Internet-based protocols to interact with this component, and — a self-contained file format to thoroughly define an exercise in o...
متن کاملAn Integration of Mechanised Reasoning andComputer
Mechanised reasoning systems and computer algebra systems have apparently diierent objectives. Their integration is, however, highly desirable, since in many formal proofs both of the two diierent tasks, proving and calculating, have to be performed. Even more importantly, proof and computation are often interwoven and not easily separable. In the context of producing reliable proofs, the quest...
متن کاملAssessing the Viability of a Fully Mechanised Har- Vesting Operation for a Large Sugarcane Estate
Abstract A desk top analysis was conducted to assess the feasibility and economics of introducing a fully mechanised combine harvesting system on several farms of a miller cum planter estate located in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands of South Africa. Machinery and equipment costing exercises based on row length, haul-out distance and harvester forward speeds were investigated. The outcome of the stu...
متن کاملMOOC and Mechanized Grading
As many others, we too are developping a Massive Online Open Course or MOOC. This MOOC will teach recursive programming to beginners and will heavily use an already existing infrastructure for mechanical grading (Queinnec, 2010). This position paper discusses how these two components are combined in order to increase students’ involvement. Developping a MOOC is now a common activity in the Acad...
متن کاملA mechanised microtechnique for salmonella serotyping.
In the reference laboratory complete serological identification of salmonella requires the identification of 59 'O' (somatic) and 87 'H' (flagellar) antigens. When large numbers of strains are studied mechanisation of the serological techniques would be advantageous. Normally, slide and tube agglutination methods are used,' 2 and the latter is an essential confirmatory test. The antisera used a...
