摘要：The increased presence of diagram-type student work in higher education has recently attracted researchers to look into the automation of diagram marking. This paper intro duces web-based diagram drawing and marking tools for a new (semi-automatic) assessment approach. The approach reduces the number of diagram components marked by the human marker and provides individualised and detailed feedback to students. The tools have been used in tutorials of a first year database module in the Computer Science department at Loughborough University are described together with findings from the usage of the tools.
