Create a Course Hosted In MATLAB Grader

Courses hosted in MATLAB® Grader™ are made up of assignments that contain assessment items that you write yourself or add to your course from the MathWorks® Collections.

To create a course, you:

  • Provide details about the course, including title and description, start and end dates, and products used (described in this section).

  • Set up assignments and add assessment items.

  • Invite other instructors to collaborate (optional).

  • Enroll learners in the course.

After the course has begun, you can track learner progress and view learner submissions.

Fill Out Course Details

  1. Go to the MATLAB Grader home page.

  2. On the Courses tab, click Create Course.

  3. Enter a descriptive title for the course. For example: Basic Mathematics with MATLAB

  4. Select the time zone for the course.

  6. From the Products list, select the MathWorks products that you want to use for the course. When solving problems in a course, learners can use only the products you indicated.

    Note

    MATLAB is always included; you don't have to select it. For more information about selecting products for your course, see the next section.

  7. Enter a description of the course. For example, you could use the description that appears in your course catalog.

  8. Click Save.

Select Products for Courses

For each course, you can select one or more MathWorks products that MATLAB Grader uses for solution evaluation. For example, if you are teaching a course for financial data analysis, you could add the financial toolboxes to your course. When learners submit solutions using functions from these toolboxes, MATLAB Grader can evaluate them correctly.

Note

The list of products presented is always based on the most recent release of MATLAB available. All products in the most recent release are available for use in MATLAB Grader coding problems.

To add products:

  1. Create or edit a course.

  2. Click the product selection box to view a list of available products and select a product from the list. When solving problems in a course, learners can use only the products you indicated.

    To add multiple products at a time, press and hold the Ctrl key while selecting products.
