LabRemote
One of the projects I’ve invested a lot of time in during this summer has been LabRemote, an open source platform designed to ease the work of teaching assistants when it comes to grading students. The LabRemote team is composed of Alex Eftimie, Irina Preșa and me, Sergiu Iordache.
LabRemote is composed of a smartphone application built on the Android platform and a web middleware used for importing data and more complex tasks. The main features are importing students from Moodle, creating activities and grading the students and exporting the data back as CSV or public HTML. More information about the application, including a screencast and download links can be found on the LabRemote official site.
LabRemote has been built as part of the Web In Progress contest organized by HP Romania. The final presentation (available here[PDF] ) took place yesterday and I feel really proud that we’ve managed to build a complete product from scratch (working product, web site, development documentation etc.).
Future plans include getting it to actually be used and integration with other courseware. If you have any other ideas feel free to get the code from github. Comments and suggestions here are welcome as well
