Electronic marking of mathematics assignments using Microsoft 2007
conference contribution
posted on 2009-09-30, 13:46 authored by Tim Lowe, Ben Mestel, Gaynor ArrowsmithThis paper describes on-going work within the Department of Mathematics
and Statistics at The Open University to enable distance learning students to
electronically submit assignments rich in mathematical notation and diagrams,
and for those assignments to be marked and returned electronically by their
tutor.
A trial is currently underway of a prototype system that enables students to
submit assignments in a range of electronic formats, which are then converted
to Microsoft Word 2007 format to enable tutors to take advantage of various
features of this software for marking and providing mathematical comments.
The systems developed for this trial are described and preliminary findings
presented.
