ABSTRACT
Marking programming assignments involves a lot of work, and with large classes, the feedback provided to students through marking is often rather limited and late.
Oto is a customizable and extensible marking tool that provides support for the submission and marking of assignments. Oto aims at reducing the marking workload and, also, at providing timely feedback to students.
In this paper, we present Oto's new marking language and give an overview of its implementation as a Domain-Specific Language.

Oto, a generic and extensible tool for marking programming assignments
Marking programming assignments in programming courses involves a lot of work: each program must be tested, the source code must be read and evaluated, etc. With the large classes encountered nowadays, the feedback provided to students through marking ...
