MITx Grading Library - Public Release

[Jolyon Bloomfield]

Hi folks!

We're very pleased to announce the public release of a general purpose python grading library for edX. The library contains a number of tools for text input problems, including a vastly-improved formularesponse grader and tools for grading correlated inputs (eg, ordered/unordered lists, pairwise lists, etc) among other things.

We have built a demo course to showcase the capabilities of the library, which we invite you to explore:
https://edge.edx.org/courses/course-v1:MITx+grading-library+examples/

The full library code is publicly available on github, with complete documentation:
https://github.com/mitodl/mitx-grading-library

Please enjoy!

Best,

Awesome! Thanks for all this. 

Quick note for anyone using both this and another python library (like hx-py) - as far as I know you can only have one instructor-defined python library, so you'll need to unzip, combine libraries, and rezip before uploading.

Indeed, Colin is correct. The library is completely contained in a folder called "mitxgraders", so it should play nice with any other libraries that you may be using.

Cheers,
Jolyon
