MathWorks tools for teaching and assessments

11
 MATLAB Grader
Automatically grade MATLAB
code in any learning
environment.

▪ Creation and sharing of

MATLAB-based assignments

▪ Autograded student solutions

with custom scoring rubrics

▪ A library of re-usable examples

▪ Optional: learning management

system integration

12
Who would benefit from autograding MATLAB code in an LMS?

▪ Instructors teaching large and/or introductory level courses

– Use off the shelf content and assessment examples to speed course development
– Include MATLAB assignments for homework, exercises, and formative assessment

▪ Teaching Assistants and Graders for MATLAB-based courses

– Less time spent grading code == more working with students

▪ Students get immediate feedback, and improve mastery of skills and concepts

13
Live Scripts

MATLAB® live scripts and live functions are interactive documents that

combine MATLAB code with formatted text, equations, and images in a

single environment called the Live Editor.

In addition, live scripts store and

display output alongside the code

that creates it.

MATLAB Drive

Cloud Storage and Synchronization

▪ Full integration with MATLAB Drive gives you 5GB
to store, access, and manage your files from
anywhere with MATLAB Online.

▪ Use MATLAB Drive Connector to sync your files

between your computers and MATLAB Online,
eliminating the need for manual upload or
download.
