An online tool for managing student assignment selection

Learning Management Systems allow the delivery of learning materials to students, facilitate collaboration, and submission of assessable material. One aspect missing in current Learning Management Systems is the ability to manage student assignment selection from a list of topics with multiple markers. This paper describes the pilot assignment allocation system we developed in-house to manage this process. The system was trialled with a third year subject, and functioned well, with positive feedback from users and practical suggestions for the next iteration.
