Welcome to MarkUs

MarkUs (pronounced "mark us") is an open-source tool which recreates the ease and flexibility of grading assignments with pen on paper, within a web application. Designed to support programming assignments, students may submit their work through the web interface or through a version control system. Students can form groups to collaborate on assignments. Instructors add marking schemes, assign graders to students and then later release the marks to the students. The graders can view the students submissions, fill in the marking schemes, and annotate the students work. MarkUs facilitates much of the administrative work of setting up and grading an assignment.

MarkUs is written using Ruby on Rails, and uses Subversion to store the student submissions. MarkUs is the successor to the OLM project, an earlier grading tool.
