Automatic Evaluation of Programming Tasks for Blended Learning and E-Assessment

摘要

With the fast development of computer and internet technology, blended learning has become an efficient methodology used pervasively in both academic teaching and general purpose training courses, where interactive frontal teaching and computer-supported self-learning in multimedia environments are integrated seamlessly. From the perspectives of learners as well as teachers, convenient ways for performance checking are needed. On the one side, students can make self-assessments so as to adjust their learning focus and make improvements based on feedbacks. On the other side, teachers can design contents, material and activities tailored specifically to the need of students. This raises the question of E-assessment, i. e., computer-based automatic evaluation of learning outcomes.
