This paper presents the design and refinement of automated Moodle-based Problem-Solving Assessments (PSAs) deployed across large-scale computing units. Developed to replace traditional exams, PSAs assess applied problem-solving skills through parameterised, real-world tasks delivered via Moodle's quiz engine. Integrated with interactive workshops, this approach supports authentic learning, mitigates academic integrity risks, and reduces inconsistencies in marking. Iterative improvements have enhanced scalability, fairness, and alignment with learning outcomes. The model offers a practical and sustainable alternative for modern computing and engineering education.
