We have adapted the Loughborough University system of automated MATLAB assessment in engineering to provide assessment and feedback for a new computational maths module in Liverpool. The aim was to make feasible individual feedback to large cohorts of students in a much shorter time than was previously possible at Liverpool. An important aspect of the project was to develop further the system and enhance its portability so facilitating its wider use in other modules and disciplines where MATLAB programming is a key element. Good progress was made in exporting the system and making it more easily adapted. We have developed some associated software to sift out groups of submitted work which shows evidence of collusion. Student reaction at Liverpool was mixed highlighting the need to get students above a minimal level of programming competence before being able to benefit properly from the automated feedback system.
