Abstract

Computer Science CourseWare (CSCW) is a Web-based integrated online courseware system for the management of computer science courses developed by the Miami University Department of Computer Science and Systems Analysis. The system is designed to support a unified student experience for content delivery and programming (and general) assignment management. CSCW promotes incremental development through rapid feedback for students with its integrated Java style checking (using PMD [2]) and automatic grading capabilities. CSCW integrates with existing version control infrastructure (using Subversion [4]) and authentication infrastructure (LDAP or custom plug-in) to minimize administration. Paperless handling of programming assignments is encouraged with the ability for precise feedback to be entered by instructors for student consumption. CSCW focuses on the needs of courses using computer programs as a primary assessment measure. CSCW is actively being used at Miami University.
