Introduction
Based on Microeconomics eleventh Canadian Edition by McConnell, Lyryx Assessment Microeconomics[LAECON] is a leading edge online assessment system, designed to support both the students and instructors. For the students:
The assessment takes the form of labs. The reason for the name, as opposed to quizzes for example, is that students can try them as many times as they wish. New labs are randomly generated each time, and after they submit a lab for marking, they receive extensive feedback on their work, thus promoting their learning experience. For the instructors:
The goal of the product is for instructors to use these labs for course marks instead of creating and marking their own, saving them and teaching assistants valuable time to instead help students directly. After registering their course with us, an instructor can create labs of their choice by selecting problems from an existing bank of questions, and set a deadline for each one of these labs. The content, marking and feedback of the problems has been developed and implemented with the help of experienced instructors in economics. Instructors have access to all their students' marks and can view their best labs. At any time, the instructors can download the class grades for their own programs.
