I am very interested in this, although I'm not sure the best solution to this will be technical in nature. A Sage worksheet has two aspects: first, it's like a source code file that one can feed into a compiler or interpreter. So for that aspect, we'd want to look at automated tools used by programming classes for grading coding assignments. The second aspect is that of a regular document, such as an HTML page or LaTeX document. Grading this sort of thing is very much like grading essays or papers in an English or writing class, which AFAIK is un-automatable, unless one is using the staircase method. :) The first aspect can be automated, but it depends on what's in the worksheet. What's in these homework assignments? Dan -- --- Dan Drake <dr...@kaist.edu> ----- KAIST Department of Mathematical Sciences ------- http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~drake
