Apollon is an online modeling editor written in React. It offers an easy to use and lightweight experience to learn UML and other notations in an interactive environment. It runs as standalone version on https://apollon.ase.in.tum.de offering a collaborative modeling experience without accounts. It is also integrated into Artemis to enable modeling exercises. Students create models, tutors assess those models and provide feedback which students can then see in order to improve their modeling skills.

Programming exercises in Artemis can be realized with Bitbucket/Bamboo, Gitlab/Jenkins, GitlabCI or LocalVCS/CI. This allows flexibility for Artemis admins. LocalVCS/CI provides an easy setup for developers and for universities to try out Artemis. However, not all functionality for programming exercises is available on all combinations of version control and continuous integration subsystems In this thesis, the missing features should be implemented. In addition, the concept of build agents and dockerized builds should be realized within LocalCI.

Artemis supports any programming language for programming exercises. Currently, it includes templates for many popular languages, however templates for a couple of languages is still missing. In this thesis, new templates for programming exercises will be developed and tested with the Bitbucket/Bamboo and Gitlab/Jenkins and LocalVCS/CI. In addition, static code analysis should be integrated into more programming exercise templates. Artemis is open source and available on https://github.com/ls1intum/Artemis

Abstract TBA

Artemis is an interactive learning platform used across multiple universities. One of its key features is support for exercise assessment through its web client. However, the web client’s usability on portable devices, such as iPads, is suboptimal. This limitation poses a challenge for tutors in providing prompt feedback to students, ultimately hindering their learning process. To address this issue, the development of Themis, a dedicated iPad app, was initiated, and a prototype focusing on the assessment of programming exercises was developed.

Abstract TBA

With the high prevalence of mobile devices among students, a significant need exists to adapt and optimize the web-based Unified Modeling Language (UML) modeling tool, Apollon, for mobile devices. Artemis, a learning platform integrating Apollon, has multiple related iOS apps also seeking an Apollon integration. This thesis aims to bridge this usability gap, making UML modeling more efficient and user-friendly within the Artemis app ecosystem. The objectives include developing a Swift package for Apollon, integrating it into Themis for efficient feedback and grading, and incorporating it into Artemis for iOS to allow students to model from their mobile devices.
