There is no current API to retrieve the grades/feedback for each assignment. As such, grades/feedback are only viewable through the website.

It might be advantageous to look for some Java-based web browser that we can embed.

Here are the candidates:

  1. CSSBox
  2. SWT Browser
  3. Lobo

CSSBox is too slow and does not really render many kinds of CSS. I tested it with the Coursera main page and it does not load all the elements.

The download of the LOBO browser doesn't work properly at all. I don't want to spend extra time investigating this browser since it has been a while since its last release.
