Hi, I teach programming-related courses to undergraduates. Some of these, especially the programming 101 course, have large numbers of students and we carry out automated marking using a rather ancient CGI app. Students paste code into a web form, which is compiled and executed in a sandbox on the server. The tutor creates a bunch of tests that the students' code needs to pass, and pass/fail marks are recorded.
This CGI app needs to be replaced for several reasons: it's old, complicated and hard to maintain.
So I've been trying to find a replacement system where students can upload scripts/programs and get a mark. I've played around with MOOCs like udacity and courseera that do this very well. It needs to have some sort of community around it (or commercial support options maybe) so we don't have the same bus factor we have now. We can host it ourselves or it might be possible to host it externally, subject to various constraints. Programming language agnosticism would be excellent, otherwise we're interested in Java and/or Python. If it could be integrated with Blackboard, all the better!
Do you know about anything like this? Thanks in advance,
Jim
