Automatic Grading System for Object-Oriented Programming on an E-learning Platform.

Abstract

Abstract: Manual grading of Object-Oriented Programming assignments implies that sometimes the feedback arrives late. In addition, the main grading criteria is usually functionality, which leaves other grading criteria aside. This paper presents a platform that supports different automatic grading processes with quick feedback. Therefore, this work integrated an architecture that supports different grading metrics with the Edx MOOC. By using the external grader, which is a component of Edx, the student´s answer code was sent and feedback was received. The results demonstrate the feasibility of integration of Edx with the Grader.
