Abstract

This paper describes two experiments in automatic testing and grading, using the World Wide Web as a common and ubiquitous interface. Two systems were built using the Common Lisp HTTP Server from MIT and its functionality to generate HTML on the fly: The first one deals with the development of on-line Lisp programming tests. Student programs are evaluated, their output is compared with the instructor's, and they are graded accordingly. The second system goes beyond the former idea and is able to help instructors with the creation of multiple on-line exams and their automatic management, including immediate feedback to students and score record-keeping.
