Python Programming Environment for Educational AssessmentContent Inside: An online learning environment named INFACT, developed with the direction of Steven Tanimoto in collaboration with other departments at the University of Washington, aims to address many of the issues explained previously. An “Online Learning Environment”(OLE) is a networked computing software infrastructure in which software tools are provided to students and teachers to improve the overall quality of learning.
