I have built the almost same system ~1.5 years ago <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pags.cs.bilkent.edu.tr" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pags.cs.bilkent.edu.tr</a> but It did not get any traction :&#x2F; Here is a screenshot: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;U3pjIJA.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;U3pjIJA.png</a> and even featured on Docker blog <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.docker.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;04&#x2F;docker-in-education-interview&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.docker.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;04&#x2F;docker-in-education-intervie...</a><p>But nevertheless, happy to see some competition on the road :) Good luck.

Hey everyone my name is Prah and I&#x27;m one of the founders of Mimir. There is a huge demand for good engineers so we built Mimir to solve the problem at the source. Our platform automates most the bureaucratic work involved in teaching a CS course and allows instructors to focus on their students.<p>If anyone has any questions, I would be happy to answer them.

Professors don&#x27;t even grade assignments in my experience.<p>It&#x27;s the Graduate students.

The University of Waterloo uses Marmoset, and it works well: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;marmoset.cs.umd.edu&#x2F;index.shtml" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;marmoset.cs.umd.edu&#x2F;index.shtml</a>

I can not understand how a university could commit itself to rely on such external (proprietary) tools... This kind of vendor-lock-in within the teaching process would bug me both as a teacher and as a student. I built something similar (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;moschlar&#x2F;SAUCE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;moschlar&#x2F;SAUCE</a>), which is open source.
