Automated assessment is well-established within computer science courses but largely absent from human--computer interaction courses. Automating the assessment of human--computer interaction (HCI) is challenging because the coursework tends not to be computational but rather highly creative, such as designing and implementing interactive…

Assignments and tests are the main forms of evaluation in the educational process, students usually lose interest in boring exercises during course learning. In spired of elements from human-computer battle game, a course test system is designed to encourage students to take tests more frequently and actively to achieve better learning effect,…

Conversational agents have been widely used in education to support student learning. There have been recent attempts to design and use conversational agents to conduct assessments (i.e., conversation-based assessments: CBA). In this study, we developed CBA with constructed and selected-response tests using Rasa--an artificial intelligence-based…

The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education has introduced innovative approaches to assessment. One such approach is AI chatbot-based assessment, which utilizes large language models to provide students with timely and consistent feedback. However, the effectiveness of AI chatbots in generating assessments comparable…

This paper presents ongoing research at the University of Hertfordshire on the use of computer-adaptive tests (CATs) in Higher Education. A software prototype based on Item Response Theory has been developed and is described here. This application was designed to estimate the level of proficiency in English for those students whose first language…

The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
