Welcome to Paracamplus.Org, the open-source side of Paracamplus, a purveyor of pedagogical resources for universities.
The FW4EX project aims to deliver a mechanized grading infrastructure where teachers may offer exercises to students who may upload what they think is a solution to the selected exercise. This solution is then mechanically graded and a report is made available to the student. Thus an exercise is not only a stem, it contains as well some programs to automatically grade the students' works.
