Abstract

Grading can be a very time-consuming activity for teachers. For this reason, numerous tools exist to aid teachers in grading. One of these tools is Zesje, a web application that allows electronic grading of paper-based exams. A major drawback of Zesje was that teachers were required to create their exams with LaTeX, a popular document typesetting language. Having to use LaTeX meant two things: not being able to use other software to create exams and poor performance when compiling the LaTeX source. This report outlines the research, development, and evaluation of a project that involves the deprecation of the LaTeX template from the software stack of Zesje.
