This version has not been tested extensively with Plone 3 - it might or might not work as well. Plone 3 users should use ECQuiz 1.2.1. We also integrated SVN-branch "cewing_fix_imports" which enables importing QTI packaged-quizzes with support for zip files with pathnames in them. Thanks to cewing. We are looking forward for your contributions and feedback for this release candidate of ECQuiz.

However, with the appropriate backend one can also test submissions in other formal notations or analyze natural-language assignments. For multiple-choice questions I would prefer ECQuiz. With some effort maybe one could adjust ECAutoAssessmentBox for multiple-choice questions, but in my opinion this is not applicable. The other way round - using ECQuiz with ECSpooler - it should be possible to test paragraph answers. But this demands ECQuiz to be extended in a very comprehensive way. The installation package seems to be faulty. I've replaced it on the Web site with a revised version (see also attachment of this mail). But, as mentioned in my mail before, I'm not sure if this version fully works with the current SVN-version of ECAssignmentBox for Plone 3. If not, I'll provide you with a developer snapshot.

If you use the ECSpooler package from &lt;http://wdok.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/software/ecspooler/&gt; please see the »Installation« and »Quick Start« sections in README.txt. The common procedure is that you first start ECSpooler and than start several backends which in turn register themselves at ECSpooler. We have implemented multiple backends for Haskell, Scheme, Lisp, Erlang, Prolog, Python, and Java. However, ECSpooler only ships with a demo backend, Keywords, which checks whether a submission contains certain keywords specified by the creator of the assignment. We do not include other backends because, when executing student code, you have to take security precautions, e.g., by using chroot, jails, or systrace. If you are aware of the risks and if you are able to deal with the configuration issues, we are happy to provide you with our backends on request. If ECSpooler and backends are running (daemon processes) you have to configure ECAutoAssessmentBox for communication with the spooler. Go to »site setup« (left upper corner of your Plone site) and click on »Auto Assessment Settings«. Enter host, port, username, and password to connect to your spooler and click »apply« (see ECSpooler's README.txt for details about ports and users). After that step you will see all registered backends and you have to select all backends which shall be available to your site members. Now you are ready to create an assessment box with automatic testing. The current development version of ECAutoAssessmentBox has a separate tab called »Tests«. Using this tab you are able to add all necessary fields for a selected backend; otherwise use the section »backend« in edit mode. Since we are currently work in progress for a new version of ECSpooler and ECAutoAssessmentBox it might be that SVN and non-SVN versions do not work together. Please do not hesitate to contact me. At the moment a full user documentation is available in German only (including video tutorials), see &lt;http://wdok.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/forschung/projekte/educomponents/tutorials/&gt; A list of publications about eduComponents can be found here &lt;http://wdok.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/forschung/projekte/educomponents/bibliographylist&gt; Best wishes, Mario Footnotes: [1] Even though spooler and backends are implemented as Web services we do not act as a service provider. Thus, you have to install it for your own. </pre> Mario Amelung 2010-06-30T07:41:34 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.plone.educomponents/318 <pre>_______________________________________________ eduComponents mailing list eduComponents&lt; at &gt;uni-magdeburg.de https://listserv.uni-magdeburg.de/mailman/listinfo/educomponents </pre> Gangadhar Hariharan 2010-06-29T19:32:14 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.plone.educomponents/317 <pre>Dear Gangadhar, On 2010-06-18, Gangadhar Hariharan wrote: ECAutoAssessmentBox (ECAAB) for Plone 3 has not been officially published, but is available via SVN [1].
