Description
A cornerstone of modern, large-scale education is the use of various automated assessment methods to alleviate staff and improve the learning experience for students. Computing Science is a field that lends itself particularly well to assessment automation, given the well-defined nature of typical programming assignments.
In recent years, rapid growth of the Computing Science programme in Groningen has accelerated the adoption of automated code assessment in a wide range of courses, posing unique challenges to assignment design and automation setups. In this talk, we will present some case studies of recent adopters, and take a look into the future for a perspective on how a modern HPC cloud enables large-scale, highly-parallel, cloud-native, yet secure automated assessment.
