Developing marking support within Eclipse

In this paper, we describe marking features provided in Gild, a set of plug-ins to support education in Eclipse developed at the University of Victoria. We discuss our requirements gathering techniques, design process and the challenges experienced during development of this tool. We also consider the problematic nature of student evaluation, particularly within the context of introductory Computer Science courses. Keywords Marking support, student evaluation, novice programmers, integrated development environments.
