Moulinog: A Generator of Random Student Assignments Written in Prolog

Published:21 September 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

We introduce, describe and discuss the potentialities of Moulinog, a tool created during the COVID-19 lockdown, designed to generate individual questionnaires for the remote evaluation of large classrooms. Starting with a list of students and a series of predicates constituting a pool of parametric questions along with rules for their parametrization, Mouling generates a list of individual questionnaires, together with a shell script allowing an easy emailing of the (password-protected) questionnaires to the students. The tool’s use in practice is illustrated on a particular course case for which it has proven to be both useful and time-saving.
