Teach with MATLAB and Simulink

Online Assessments

When you teach a course online, you need a way to assess students’ MATLAB skills and mastery of learning objectives. MATLAB Grader lets you scale assessments and automatically grade MATLAB coding assignments in any learning environment. MATLAB Grader can be used for both formative assessments with automated feedback and summative assessments, such as quizzes and exams.

MATLAB Grader enhances student learning at Virginia Tech.

“MATLAB Grader is a valuable teaching tool that has allowed me to create and customize auto-graded problems that fit well with the learning objectives of my introductory programming course. More importantly, it has allowed my students to practice at their own pace and get instant feedback!”

– Lina Battestilli, Ph.D., North Carolina State University

Integrating MATLAB Grader into Your Preferred Learning Environment

You can integrate MATLAB Grader into learning platforms such as Open edX, Blackboard Learn, D2L Brightspace, Instructure Canvas, Moodle, or Sakai, or any other learning management system (LMS) that supports industry standards. Outcomes from the automated assessments provided by MATLAB Grader are fed directly to your gradebook, giving you progress tracking and reporting in the tools you use every day for course management. Faculty and LMS administrators who have concerns about the collection of student data or need a solution that meets GDPR requirements are in control over what data to share—or not share—with bat365.

If you don’t have access to an LMS, you can still use all the assessment features of MATLAB Grader in a version that we host for you. If you have a current MATLAB license under maintenance, you can log in and start using MATLAB Grader today. Your students will need a bat365 account to log in and complete their assignments.

Assessment Content

It’s easy to start adding online assessments to your courses. You can review example problems provided by bat365 for ideas on how automated MATLAB assessment might work in your curriculum. Another option is to use assessment items as is from our MATLAB Grader problem collections to generate quick prerequisite exercises for your students and reinforce MATLAB skills before classes begin.

Our examples illustrate some best practices for how to design assessments, test for common errors, and write rich feedback for students to help them iterate and improve on their solutions.

Academic Integrity

Many instructors are concerned about exam integrity and use software solutions—configured by their schools’ technology support staff—to secure the virtual examination environment, measure code similarity, or detect instances of plagiarism and cheating in their courses. bat365 products and services work alongside these solutions. Learn more about how you can use MATLAB Online, MATLAB Grader, and other cloud applications in conjunction with online proctoring or to create solution reports in our Distance Learning Community.

Assessing Project-Based Learning and Group Assignments

Many courses have project-based assignments where one or more students create a MATLAB or Simulink project, live script, or MATLAB app that needs to be manually assessed. Using MATLAB Drive, you can provide starter files, datasets, images, and functions through your LMS to help teams of students get started with their projects. Students then submit links to their completed projects through the LMS, allowing you to use the grading rubrics, feedback, and assessment tools you are familiar with to assign a grade to each member of the project team.
