I'm a business professor and use Excel heavily in all my courses. I've written several custom workbooks that automatically grade assignments (using formulas, VBA, conditional formatting, etc.), but the process is clunky. Further, since there are 50 ways to accomplish a given task, there is always a manual element to the evaluation process.
Do you know of a good tool or service that automatically assesses students' Excel work? I'm looking for something that will allow students to work in Excel (or even Excel Online) and then provide immediate scores and feedback based on the work. In a perfect world I'd be able to heavily customize the files, but even something that only tested specific skills (e.g., using INDEX/MATCH) would be a help.
I remember looking at the MyLab IT product in the late 2000s, but there were reasons why it wasn't right for my courses. I'm hoping someone has seen something they like, perhaps as part of a corporate training suite. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
