  • Monitor and analyze course learning outcomes through detailed visualizations. This includes automatic weight calculations for each CLO (out of 100%) and the corresponding quizzes/assignments/exams linked to them.

  • Efficiently manage your question bank with features like exporting to files, importing to exams, assigning keywords to each question for topic categorization, and performing filters, searches, and queries for easy organization and retrieval.

  • Manage your personal profile and account information, ensuring your details are accurate and up-to-date.

Student Features

  • Centralized Access to Course Sections and Assessments

    Students can view an organized dashboard showcasing their enrolled sections, upcoming events, and past, present, or future exams, quizzes, and assignments, providing a comprehensive overview of their learning journey.

  • Students can access, download, and print their grades across all courses and assessments. They will gain insights into their performance through detailed reports.

  • Students can access their individual attempt history and performance details for each section, enabling independent review and analysis of their progress, potentially reducing the need for extensive teacher review.

  • Streamlined Coding Practice with Integrated Compilers

    Students can access and utilize embedded coding compilers for various programming languages directly within the platform. This facilitates efficient practice and testing of their coding skills.

  • Streamlined Coding Practice with Integrated Compilers

    Access and utilize multiple files within the code editor for HTML or external functions or Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) purposes, enabling you to tackle complex coding challenges effectively. Additionally, you can seamlessly save your work for later use.

  • Students can view details, including topics and start times, for upcoming exams, quizzes, and assignments. They can only access and attempt assessments when permitted by the designated timeframe, ensuring academic integrity.

  • Based on the instructor's specified number of attempts, students can submit exams, quizzes, and assignments or even questions. The system automatically considers the highest score, allowing them to refine their work and improve their results.

  • Students can manage their personal profiles and account information, ensuring their details are accurate and up-to-date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you'll find answers to commonly asked questions about iCode. If you can't find what you're looking for, feel free to reach out to our support team!

  • How does iCode grade coding questions?

    • Test-Case Driven: Grading relies on pre-defined test cases. Each test case has an input, expected output, and weight (out of 100%).
    • Automatic Comparison: When students submit their code, the system compares their output for each test case with the expected output.
    • Similarity Search: If outputs aren't identical, a similarity score determines the partial credit based on predefined options (ignore case sensitivity, ignore lines, ignore spaces).

    • Unlimited: There's no limit to the number of test cases per question.
    • Weighted Test Cases: Teachers can assign zero weight to specific test cases and choose options like "Show Output Hint" or "Show As Sample Run" to provide students with sample runs.

  • Yes: Teachers can uncheck the "Show Output Hint" option to hide input and output for specific cases, preventing students from memorizing answers.

  • Yes: While the input field cannot be blank, they can enter a placeholder like "-" and add anything desired to the output field.

    • Multiple Access Prevention: Restricts multiple logins to one exam (preventing account sharing).
    • Optional Password Protection: Teachers can add an exam password.
    • IP Restrictions: Limit access by IP address, range, or network.
    • Paste/Drag and Drop Control: Optionally disable student pasting or drag-and-drop functionalities during exams.
    • Focus Monitoring: The system detects if students leave the exam window, automatically closing the exam if they do.
    • Code History Tracking: Records student code changes every minute for review.
    • Question & Answer Shuffling: Randomizes answer/question order to prevent copying between students.
    • One-Way Exams: Optionally prevent students from revisiting previous questions, preventing solutions from being shared.

  • Yes: By unchecking "Show Marks After Finish" when creating/editing exams, teachers can hide the overall mark until final submission. Similarly, unchecking "Show Mark On Run" can hide individual test case marks after code execution.

  • Yes: Teachers can edit student code, override marks, or choose manual grading for specific questions (useful for complex coding tasks like data structures or OOP). This option is disabled by default and can be enabled when creating/editing questions.

  • Yes: Create supervisor accounts with limited permissions to review exams without editing them. Supervisors can also override marks or perform manual grading.

  • Yes: Include any number of question types (coding, true/false, multiple choice, etc.) in one exam. However, manually graded questions (short answer, long answer, file submission) require enabling the "One-Way" option to prevent students from backtracking.

    • Dedicated to Coding Assessments: Offers extensive grading options, CLO integration, unique features like auto-grading HTML/JavaScript, real-time editing, and support for various user roles (coordinator, teacher, supervisor).
    • Cheating Prevention: Provides robust anti-cheating measures.
    • Rich Text Editor: Includes drag-and-drop image/file functionality, and it will be auto saved to teacher file system library.
    • User-friendly Interface: Offers a simple and intuitive interface with a comprehensive dashboard for easy management.
    • Powerful Question Bank:
      • Centralized Repository: Manage a comprehensive collection of pre-built questions categorized by topic, section, and chapter using keywords for easy searching and organization.
      • Import & Export Flexibility: Seamlessly import questions from files, the question bank, or directly into exams. Likewise, export questions from exams to files or back to the question bank.
      • Streamlined Workflow: Save time and effort by creating a centralized repository of reusable questions, saving them to files, and integrating them into various exams efficiently.
