Abstract:

The real-time collection of laboratory marks gives the opportunity to save lecturer time and, as a side effect, possibly improve the early detection of students at risk. This paper presents a distributed marks-collection system we have built. It captures marks in situ in the laboratory from almost 700 students enrolled over two units. The web-based system, constructed using the Teacher's and Learners' Collaborascope (TLC) software, has proved highly robust. We also discuss potential for extending to the system in line with trials at Glasgow University. The marks applet would collect help requests from students, thus reducing the arm-waving problem. Demonstrators would be informed via the wirless LAN and PDAs.
