By strange coincidence, I am familiar with SAGE, MAPLE TA, and math validation and placement (I'm one of only two at my school who gets some summer pay for doing this)!
I think this would be great, but significant work (obviously) to get set up. My recommendation, in case someone wants to do this, is to use SAGE in conjunction with OKUSON http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~OKUSON/ There is some discussion of using OKUSON here at my school but there are a number of "technical" (non-math and non-SAGE) related issues which have to be worked out. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On 3/26/07, Nikos Apostolakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello group, > > has anybody tried to implement something like "Maple TA" in sage? > For example I would like to have students take placement exams with > "free form" answers. > > In case you don't know what Maple TA is: > > ,----[ http://www.maplesoft.com/products/mapleta/ ] > | Maple T.A. is an easy-to-use web-based system for creating tests and > | assignments, automatically assessing student responses and > | performance.
