AN AUTOMATED GRADING FRAMEWORK FOR THE MOBILE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE KOTLIN

Nikola Dimitrijević, Nemanja Zdravković, Vladimir Milićević

Abstract: With the recent rise of the Kotlin programming language as the main contender for Android mobile development, very few courses in Higher Education Institutions exist which incorporate Kotlin as one of the main languages. In addition, various online course platforms which offer learning Kotlin are still very low in number, and the ones that do exist are expensive. In this paper, an e-learning framework for the Kotlin programming language is presented, supporting automatic grading of given assessments. This framework is aimed at students who already have basic knowledge of Java (or similar) programming languages, and want to switch to mobile development. The solution focuses on the development of an interactive course in Kotlin. Furthermore, to compare our solution with commercially available ones, we point out the disadvantages of currently available Kotlin courses, such as the level of previous knowledge needed, or a need for a specific development environment.
