  • Anubis

    Distributed LMS for automating Computing Science Courses From NYU

  • https://github.com/GusSand/Anubis <- Much more on the internals and design of Anubis here

    A lot of CS courses have separate solutions for distributing assignments, automated tests, submitting work, and class VMs (either cloud or local with something like Vagrant). My system, Anubis, wraps all of these things onto one single platform. The system automates the crap out of things that are done by hand in a lot of CS courses.

    For each assignment students get their own github repo. When they push to that repo, Anubis runs automated tests on it. The results are then available on the website. Feedback before the deadline.

    Anubis also has Cloud IDEs. These are temporary VSCode servers that can be spun up by students at a click of a button. The servers are docker containers that are custom built for the needs of the class (i.e they have everything installed that you would need). Because these are docker containers in the cloud, and not VMs, environments are consistent and stable for all students.

    Then on the admin side of things, autograde results, and additional stats and usage visuals are available to TAs on the website. All of the administration things like deploying assignments can be done in our special "Management IDEs" that are only available to admins. The automation of autograding, and having those results available along with other useful visuals has greatly increased the grunt work for the grading TAs.

    This system has been used for several semesters at the Tandon School of Engineering at NYU for the Intro to Operating Systems course. We even run our midterm and final exams on Anubis. We are looking to expand (potentially to other universities)! If you are a TA or Professor and think this platform would be good for your course, you can inquire about Anubis at this email: anubis@osiris.cyber.nyu.edu
