Welcome to MarkUs

MarkUs (pronounced "mark us") is an open-source tool which recreates the ease and flexibility of grading assignments with pen on paper, within a web application. It also allows students and instructors to form groups, and collaborate on assignments. It's predecessor OLM (Online Marking) was [[originally written|https://stanley.cdf.toronto.edu/drproject/csc49x/olm]] in Python on top of the TurboGears framework.

The MarkUs project is a re-implementation of the Online Marking system using Ruby on Rails. The goal of this project is to take what we learned from OLM and our forays into [[Web-CAT|http://web-cat.cs.vt.edu/]], and build a web-based marking tool that includes an early submission and testing system in support of test driven development.
