Using Moodle for Algorithmic Grading of Homework Assignments Robert Fithen Arkansas Tech UniversityAbstractThis paper will explore the use of Moodle to grade numerical based homework assignments.Particular interest will be paid to Moodle's ability to supply a different set of numericalparameters for every student in the course. In addition, Moodle's ability to adaptively gradethe homework makes it particularly attractive to faculty interested in reaching an onlineaudience. Implementations in a typical fluid mechanics course will be explored in detail.Moodle is a learning management system used for online or mixed technology type courses.It is freely available as a
