Mastering SQL programming skills is fundamental in computer science education, and Online Judging Systems (OJS) play a critical role in automatically assessing SQL codes, improving the accuracy and efficiency of evaluations. However, these systems are vulnerable to manipulation by students who can submit "cheating codes" that pass the…

The relative effectiveness of reflection either through student generation of contrasting cases or through provided contrasting cases is not well-established for adult learners. This paper presents a classroom study to investigate this comparison in a college level Computer Science (CS) course where groups of students worked collaboratively to…

The current educational system relies heavily on manual grading, posing challenges such as delayed feedback and grading inaccuracies. Automated grading tools (AGTs) offer solutions but come with limitations. To address this, "GRAD-AI" is introduced, an advanced AGT that combines automation with teacher involvement for precise grading,…

Online Judge (OJ) systems are typically considered within programming-related courses as they yield fast and objective assessments of the code developed by the students. Such an evaluation generally provides a single decision based on a rubric, most commonly whether the submission successfully accomplished the assignment. Nevertheless, since in an…

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and its increasing societal impacts have turned many computing educators' focus toward early education in machine learning (ML). Limited options for educational tools for teaching novice learners about the mechanisms of ML and data-driven systems presents a recognized challenge in K-12 computing…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has breached creativity research. The advancements of creative AI systems dispute the common definitions of creativity that have traditionally focused on five elements: actor, process, outcome, domain, and space. Moreover, creative workers, such as scientists and artists, increasingly use AI in their creative…

Aim/Purpose: This paper is part of a multi-case study that aims to test whether generative AI makes an effective coding assistant. Particularly, this work evaluates the ability of two AI chatbots (ChatGPT and Bing Chat) to generate concise computer code, considers ethical issues related to generative AI, and offers suggestions for how to improve…

Automatic program repair (APR) tools are valuable for students to assist them with debugging tasks since program repair captures the code modification to make a buggy program pass the given test-suite. However, the process of manually generating catalogs of code modifications is intricate and time-consuming. This article proposes contextual error…

This study adopted the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to extract learners' needs based on 70,145 reviews from online course designed for software design and development in China and then applied Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to map learners' differentiated needs into quality attributes. Taking national first-class courses as the…

In the realm of education, the integration of AI literacy into computer science teaching is becoming increasingly crucial (Walsh et al., 2023; Voulgari et al., 2022; Velander et al., 2023). Teachers play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between research and practical knowledge transfer of AIrelated skills, necessitating a solid foundation in…

Background: The recent discussion of introducing artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge to K-12 students, like many engineering and technology education topics, has attracted a wide range of stakeholders and resources for school curriculum development. While teachers often have to directly interact with external stakeholders out of the public…

IT/IS educators continue to work to develop content and activities for teaching Agile practices, processes, and methodologies to their courses to ensure students have the skills expected by businesses. Given the wide range of tools and technologies that fall under the umbrella of Agile and the wide range of places where Agile is applied, educators…

Many management information systems (MIS) faculty have adopted a project-oriented approach in their systems analysis and design courses. In these courses, students use a software development methodology to create a web or mobile application project, which can be based on a predefined case or developed for an external stakeholder. Because most…

Providing educators with understandable, actionable, and trustworthy insights drawn from large-scope heterogeneous learning data is of paramount importance in achieving the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational settings. Explainable AI (XAI)--contrary to the traditional "black-box" approach--helps fulfilling this…

Computer science development, especially machine learning, is a thriving innovation essential for education. It makes the process of teaching and learning more accessible and manageable and also promotes equality. The positive influence of machine learning can also be felt in Islamic studies, particularly in Hadith studies. This literature review…
