description Basic courses in mathematics for engineers often have more than several hundred participants. To achieve the learning goals it is necessary that the students work actively on specific problems. While working on the problems, students require assistance. As a supplement to guidance by lecturers and teaching assistants, NTNU has piloted use of a digital assessment system STACK, that enables constructive feedback and is to some degree interactive. We will discuss how we integrate digital assessment into daily teaching practices, show examples of the problems and present some qualitative data collected from actual students.
