What is Rameau?
Rameau is a web application that empowers teachers to create customized online homework assignments for students at any level, from simple elementary school worksheets to doctoral comprehensive exams. While specifically designed for music theory analysis, Rameau can be used for any type homework, quiz, exam, or practice assignment that uses any of the following question types:
Roman Numeral Analysis
True/False
Multiple Choice
Matching Answer
Essay
By design, Rameau does not force users to adopt a specific curriculum. It offers powerful tools for teachers to design and build assignments to their unique specifications. Rameau's powerful automatic grading features eliminate the need to manually and repetitively mark homework assignments.
Core Concepts
Flexibility
With Rameau, users can upload any PDF as the "background" image for the assignment questions. While designed for music analysis (e.g., sheet music to be analyzed with roman numerals), the application is limited only by the imagination of the user.
For example, a simple map could be uploaded for a geography quiz (figure 1). The key indicates which answers a student can choose from to input into the answer boxes.
The map and the abbreviation table were captured as screenshots then quickly assembled with the text instructions in a word processor. The document was exported as a PDF then uploaded to Rameau. The answer boxes were placed on the map and colored orange to catch the users eye.
While rudimentary, this example shows the potential for various educational disciplines and testing possibilities. Rameau will automatically grade the responses which saves time, eliminates human error, and streamlines the process for both student and teacher.
