ABSTRACT
THE LATEST ON TACO: Teaching and Coursework Online
Richard Wheeldon
Department of Computing Science, Birkbeck College
The original Taco system, which has had some exposure in the Department,
was developed by Chris Harris et al. 5 years ago. Since then, many
problems have arisen; UCL CS users may be well aware of some of them.
The seminar will present details of a new replacement system which aims
to provides random question generation, better student-progress
analysis, and consistent database-driven marking and search facilities,
within a new MVC-based architecture.
Opportunities will be given to make suggestions for improvements and
shape the system before its projected rollout early next year. People
with past TACO experience or those who have an interest in using TACO-
like systems in the near future are therefore especially welcome.
