Plom is
- a system for administering handwritten exams or homework on paper, but
- marking on a computer, and
- returning them online
- free and open source - https://www.plomgrading.org/
Plom was started
- at UBC Mathematics
- to simplify logistics of giving tests in large courses, and
- improve the quality of feedback given to students
Plom supports
- randomised tests, crowded classrooms and multiple sittings
Plom is
- under heavy development, but
- already in use — 20+ courses, 60+ markers, 20000+ tests at UBC Mathematics
Plom needs
- community — testers, users, feedback, potential energetic codevelopers
Please come and take a look and we can organise some demonstration servers so you can try it out.
