AbstractWe report a novel approach for grading chemical structure drawings for remote teaching, integrated into the Moodle platform. Typically, existing online platforms use a binary grading system, which often fails to give a nuanced evaluation of the answers given by the students. Therefore, such platforms are unevenly adapted to different disciplines. This is particularly true in the case of chemical structures, where most questions simply cannot be evaluated on a true/false basis. Specifically, a strict comparison of candidate and expected chemical structures is not sufficient when some tolerance is deemed acceptable. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a grading workflow based on the pairwise similarity score of two considered chemical structures. This workflow is implemented as a Moodle plugin, using the Chemdoodle engine for drawing structures and communicating with a REST server to compute the similarity score using molecular descriptors. The plugin (https://github.com/Laboratoire-de-Chemoinformatique/moodle-qtype_molsimilarity) is easily adaptable to any academic user; both embedding and similarity measures can be configured.
