The realization that computer science (CS) is an integral part of many fields has led to an influx of non-CS major students (henceforth, non-CS majors) in CS courses. There is ample evidence that these students have various interests and learning goals ...

Teamwork is increasingly prominent in computing education. At the tertiary level, educators use group projects to nurture professional skills and employability. However, there is considerable variance in how such collaborative work is assessed. Emphases ...

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a systematic and holistic approach to designing and managing an organization's information systems components, aiding in optimizing resources, managing risk, and facilitating change. It weighs different architectural ...

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) become more and more ubiquitous in everyone’s everyday life, students will hold certain conceptions of these phenomena, as recent studies show. Some of these conceptions may be beneficial, while ...

Measuring instructors' adoption of learning management system (LMS) tools is a critical first step in evaluating the efficacy of online teaching and learning at scale. Existing models for LMS adoption are often qualitative, learner-centered, and ...

Accurately judging student on-going performance is crucial for adaptive teaching. In this work, we focus on the task of automatically predicting students' levels of mastery of math questions from teacher-student classroom dialogue data in online one-on-...

In Aotearoa New Zealand, assessment of programming for the national NCEA standards is carried out manually by teachers, many of whom are not experienced programmers. In an attempt to decrease teacher workload, we have adapted Moodle CodeRunner [23] to ...

Programming skills are increasingly important to the current digital economy, yet these skills have long been regarded as challenging to acquire. A central challenge in learning programming skills involves the simultaneous use of multiple component ...

The main quality of virtual reality (VR) is its high immersive potential. However, the resulting inability to perceive the real world surroundings can distract users from the application due to the fear of colliding with obstacles or other people. The ...

Currently, there is little evidence about how non-English-speaking students learn computer programming. For example, there are few validated assessment instruments to measure the development of programming skills, especially for the Spanish-speaking ...

In the testing-retraining pipeline for enhancing the robustness property of deep learning (DL) models, many state-of-the-art robustness-oriented fuzzing techniques are metric-oriented. The pipeline generates adversarial examples as test cases via such a ...

Building on a foundation of innovative Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, this study presents an evolved approach to assessing student class participation (CP) and providing timely feedback in Masters in Business ...

Addressing negative self-talk by students, such as responding to a student when saying, "I am dumb" or "I can't do this" can be difficult for even the most experienced tutor. Despite potential tutor learning from scenario-based lessons on this topic, ...

The Internet---for all of its benefits---makes it easy for students to share assignments. This creates a serious problem for academic institutions. Common mitigation tactics include discouraging students from sharing their work and routinely checking for ...

This research has three prongs, with each comparing open- and closed-book exam questions across six years (2017-2023) in a final year undergraduate applied machine learning course. First, the authors evaluated the performance of numerous LLMs, compared ...

Small, auto-gradable programming exercises provide a useful tool with which to assess students' programming skills in introductory computer science. To reduce the time needed to produce programming exercises of similar difficulty, previous research has ...

Ever since Large Language Models (LLMs) and related applications have become broadly available, several studies investigated their potential for assisting educators and supporting students in higher education. LLMs such as Codex, GPT-3.5, and GPT 4 have ...

Parsons problems are a type of programming activity that present learners with blocks of existing code and requiring them to arrange those blocks to form a program rather than write the code from scratch. Micro Parsons problems extend this concept by ...

In this paper, we explore three different methods for administering computer-based tests at scale: (1) a dedicated Computer-Based Testing Center (CBTC), (2) Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) exams proctored in person in the classroom, and (3) BYOD exams ...

A transport system involved in a hazardous event may experience some changes in demand (the users want to move all together) and in supply (disruption). By considering these elements, this work aims to provide a measure of the resilience of a road ...
