Abstract

Over the past two decades, learning management systems (LMSs) have each developed their own software for administering quizzes and examinations online. In addition, several standalone tools like Webassign and Gradescope have similar functionality. The rapid pivot to online learning has familiarized most engineering faculty with the features and inadequacies of current tools. These fall into four categories: question types, grading options, presentation/layout issues and integrity related. This paper considers each of the categories, from the standpoint of what is currently offered and what is desired by instructors.
