Electronic Online Marking Of Software Assignments (EOMOSA)
Gary Hill and Scott Turner
Abstract
With the advent of Virtual
Learning Environments (VLEs) and online electronic submission of assignments,
computing lecturers are increasingly assessing code online. There are various
tools for aiding electronic marking, grading and plagiarism detection. However,
there appears to be limited shared advice to computer science tutors (and
students) on the effective use of these tools.
This paper aims to stimulate
peer-discussion amongst tutors involved in the assessing (marking and grading) of
software code. Many United Kingdom (UK) Higher Education Institutions (HEI) are
using electronic marking. This paper discusses the authors’ experience and
proposes suggestions for appropriate and effective solutions to the electronic
assessment of software code. This will be based on the authors’ experience of
electronically assessing code over three academic years and the current advice
given to their students.
KEY WORDS
Software
engineering, online marking, online grading, online assessment, turnitin,
