What is Gradiance?

Gradiance is the most advanced online assessment tool developed for computer science.  With its innovative underlying technology, Gradiance turns basic homework assignments and programming labs into true learning experiences for students.    By using a series of “root questions” and hints, Gradiance not only tests a student’s capability, but actually simulates a one-on-one teacher-student tutorial that allows for the student to more easily learn the material.  Through the Gradiance programming labs, instructors are capable of testing, tracking, and honing their students’ skills, both in terms of syntax and semantics, with an unprecedented level of assessment never before offered.  By taking advantage of all that Gradiance has to offer, instructors will be able to enhance their students’ ability and learning experience.

Key Features: 

• inhibit guessing and sharing of answers
• quickly identify struggling students
• be freed from endless hours grading code
• flexible homework submission parameters
