Notes

  1. 1.

    A general introduction to “classroom assessment” is example given by Black and Wiliam [3].

  2. 2.

    Formal Specification is a lecture offered in the IS studies at the WWU Münster.

  3. 3.

    Running EASy and Muggl on distinct machines would be no challenge with the current architecture. It was not required for the initial scenario, though.
