Abstract
With the rapidly growing use of the Internet, the use of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)
is spreading through the academic community, in light of the bene ts these provide not only to
the students but to society as well.
Most of these courses generally contain some form of evaluation on which a student must
prove, either to himself or for evaluation purposes, the learning he has acquired along the way,
generally in the form of exercises assigned to a speci c topic or area of knowledge and have the
characteristic that, most of the time, do not require human supervision or correction.
The main objective of this project is to create an authoring tool for professors without any
technical background to generate the aforementioned exercises in a simple, elegant way with
the possibility to preview the exercise in progress and formula-editing tools for easy, simple
calculations.
Moreover, this tool is to be tested on a real production environment with real end users who
would test not only the authoring tool, but experience the rst implementation of these courses
at UC3M.
