Automatic Assessment Generation Service

Abstract

Assessment is an essential element for every student in learning processes. Learning management systems (LMSs) provide support for assessment. As we are computer science students assessment is required for programming languages. Automatic assessment of programming exercises has become an important method for grading students exercises and giving feedback for them . In addition to assignments that are graded by teachers, we also support assignments that can be automatically compiled and can check for errors. This is very helpful for students so that they can check and assess themselves before submitting. In this paper we report about service-oriented approach for automatic assessment of programming assignments specifically taking a single programming language c#.net. There is a clear cut separation between frontends and back-ends . Assessment can be easily interfaced with different existing learning management systems (as so called frontends).We also report about different generations of automatic assessment system , their problems .
