zyLabs with MATLAB Grader

MATLAB zyLabs is a program submission and autograding system using MATLAB Grader. It has several benefits:

  • Instructors can create labs and assessments using features built into MATLAB zyLabs and write scripts for custom assessments; no software installation is required.
  • MATLAB zyLabs are fully integrated into the zyVersion and give students access to industry-standard software from MathWorks.
  • Students can run MATLAB solutions directly in zyLabs, avoiding the complexity of using external tools.
  • Students receive immediate feedback on their submissions and can correct and resubmit solutions, increasing student learning and motivation.
