Electronic assignment management system for online learning platform

A system for evaluating performance of at least one first-user on an online platform, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising a plurality of modules capable of being executed by the processor, wherein the plurality of modules comprises:
• a course-builder module configured to enable at least one second-user to create at least one assignment and to define a set of assessment criteria for assessing the at least one assignment;
• a course-attempting module configured to enable the at least one first-user to attempt and submit the at least one assignment;
• a similarity-check module configured to apply a similarity-check on the at least one assignment in order to generate a report, wherein the report comprises a score quantifying similarity of the at least one assignment with a content from an online source;
• and
• a grading module configured to evaluate the performance of the at least one first-user by assigning a grade to the at least one assignment on the basis of the set of assessment criteria and the report.

A computer program product having embodied thereon a computer program for evaluating performance of at least one first-user on an online platform, the computer program product comprising:

• a program code for enabling at least one second-user to create at least one assignment and to define a set of assessment criteria for assessing the at least one assignment;
• a program code for enabling the at least one first-user to attempt and submit the at least one assignment;
• a program code for applying a similarity-check algorithm on the at least one assignment in order to generate a report, wherein the report comprises a score quantifying similarity of the at least one assignment with a content from an online source;
• and
• a program code for evaluating the performance of the at least one first-user by assigning a grade to the at least one assignment on the basis of the set of assessment criteria and the report.
