We have just release some new sharing features, available on the master branch.

It is now possible to share assignments, documents, blog posts, and rubrics for your course with instructors of other courses.  This makes it much easier for multiple sections of the same course share assets during the semester.

More great features are in the works!

I still don’t have installation instructions…. but I’m working on it.   Doing the first production install tomorrow night @ muohio.edu.

I’ve also resolved another quick ticket (#15) that allows point values in rubrics to be decimal number, rather than integer only.

Tickets resolved:

I will be pushing commits to github and updating the blog when there are major developments.

I haven’t updated this source code since I was last at Miami University (2007), but at that time the project worked great (for my purposes).

AutoGrader is described in my ITiCSE 2007 publication, “Interface-based programming assignments and automatic grading of java programs“

The major feature being added is better installation instructions.   So far I’ve fixed a few things up in the code.   The next step will be to get CascadeLMS running with phushion passenger and providing easy to follow install instructions.

I’ve got a clean linux VM ready in Parallels, so that should be the next task.
