Abstract

Scoring and plagiarism detection in university programming classes are important but time-consuming and burdensome tasks for teachers. In this paper, we explain about the structure and functions of the online education support system developed for university programming class. The system mainly provides two functions: scoring function and plagiarism detection function implementing two different kind of similarity measuring methods that had been proposed in the previous studies. Each of the methods calculates similarity between a pair of source codes in different aspect: content-based similarity and style-based similarity. This paper also describes how those two different methods work for the system to provide each functions with summarized explanations of each of the methods.
