This is accomplished in the Mallard system by means of aspecial coding of the problems using an extended version of HTML. This extended version ofHTML contains all the standard HTML tags but has, in addition, other tags that enable Mallardto produce features such as the various question input types (fill-in-the blank, arithmetic,true/false, multiple choice, equation evaluation, etc.), random values for variables in the problemstatement, as well as immediate grading.

LearningAbstract – Integrating sensing and machine learning is important in elevating precision in severalInternet of Things (IoT) and mobile applications. In our Electrical Engineering classes, we havebegun developing self-contained modules to train students in this area. We focus specifically indeveloping modules in machine learning including pre-processing, feature extraction andclassification. We have also embedded in these modules software to provide hands-on training.In this paper, we describe our efforts to develop an online simulation environment that willsupport web-based laboratories for training undergraduate students from Electrical Engineeringand other disciplines in sensors and machine learning.
