OpenTA¶
OpenTA is primarily designed to allow teachers to present assignments and exercises to questions where answers are are given using mathematical formulas. It provides the opportunity for a student to supplement these answers with by uploading handwritten material which the teacher can then review to provide additional feedback and grade if assigning a grade is a goal.
OpenTA allows teachers to monitor student progress by seeing what tasks the students are actively working on and how well they have resolved outstanding tasks. The teacher can monitor both individual responses and overall statistics. They can also see recent response attempts, both correct and incorrect for a given question. It is possible for the teacher look in detail at a given student and see how they are faring in the course.
