AN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MECHANISED GRADING

Abstract

Mechanised grading is now mature. In this paper, we propose elements for the next step: building a commodity infrastructure for grading. We propose an architecture for a grading infrastructure able to be used from various learning environments, a set of extensible Internet-based protocols to interact with the components of this infrastructure, and a selfcontained file format to thoroughly define an exercise and its entire life-cycle in order to ease deployment. The infrastructure is designed to be scalable, robust and secure. First experiments with a partial implementation of this infrastructure show its versatility and its neutrality. It does not impose any IDE and it respects the tenets of the embedding learning environment or course-based system thus favouring the fostering of an eco-system around mechanised grading.
