## The WebLab platform
## The WebLab platform
**WebLab** (https://weblab.tudelft.nl) is a learning management system developed at the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS) by the Software Technology dept./Programming Languages group.
**WebLab** (https://weblab.tudelft.nl) is a learning management system developed at the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS) by the [EIP subsection](https://eip.pages.ewi.tudelft.nl/eip-website/) of the [Computer Science & Engineering Teaching Team](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/eemcs/the-faculty/departments/software-technology/computer-science-engineering-teaching-team).
It supports various types of assignments (e.g., Multiple Choice, Open Question, Programming Question, File Submission Question) with automated and/or manual grading. On top of that, (remote) exams with built-in tooling to minimise fraud can be held by means of exam tickets, individual question order per student, timed questions, a randomly picked question from a set of question variants, and RPNow proctoring support.

There are 4 functional roles within WebLab for course staff: '**Observer**', '**Reviewer**', '**Grader**' and, '**Manager**'. You need to be a '**Manager**' in order to create course content. '**Observer**'s can view all student submissions (role for staff who assist students during the course). '**Grader**'s (and '**Reviewer**'s) may grade student submissions and constitute the pool of graders to which submissions get assigned for grading.

| **Multiple-Choice** | :ballot_box_with_check: | :ballot_box_with_check: | Multiple Choice questions have a question text and can have any number _n_ of alternatives, of which _m_ correct ones. A student answer is correct when _y ≤ m_ (configurable), correct alternatives are chosen, and no incorrect alternatives are chosen. Students score a `10.0` when answered correctly, `0.0` otherwise. |

A live preview is shown while answering the question. <br>Grading is done manually, i.e. using grading rubrics in form of checklist items with weights, or grade-based components (0.0-10.0). |

Students edit their `Solution` in the WebLab editor, and can test their solution against their own `User Tests`, or against the `Specification Tests` for which the code and output are hidden to students. Course managers can provide an initial `Solution` template, `User test` template, `Library` code, and `Specification tests` from which the grade will be computed.

| **Peer-Review** | | :ballot_box_with_check: | For a peer-review assignment, the manager selects the target assignment from which submissions should get peer-reviewed by the students. Students get assigned a submission randomly from the target assignment. Reviewing is done in form of entering textual feedback by students. This feedback is not visible to the owner of the reviewed submission until the manager opens the reviews for inspection by the submission owners. The owner's name of a peer reviewed submission is hidden to the reviewer (except for name uploaded files, which are not touched by WebLab). |

The answer evaluator takes the student answer (String) and answer seed and returns a tuple with the grade (hidden until grades are published) and textual feedback. |

- On the results screen you can sort entries by clicking the table headers. You can filter entries in the boxes below the table headers, typical filters are minimum size to ignore irrelevant solutions and percentage of matching fragments. At the top is a global filter that removes low percentage matches entirely to speed up the page. If there are no matches at all, it can help to lower this global filter. To review a suspicious case, click the compare link to get a side-by-side view of the compared solutions.
