Smitha S. Kumar; Michael A. Lones; Manuel Maarek; Hind Zantout – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Programming demands a variety of cognitive skills, and mastering these competencies is essential for success in computer science education. The importance of formative feedback is well acknowledged in programming education, and thus, a diverse range of techniques has been proposed to generate and enhance formative feedback for programming…

Olney, Andrew M.; Cade, Whitney L. – Grantee Submission, 2015
This paper proposes a methodology for authoring of intelligent tutoring systems using human computation. The methodology embeds authoring tasks in existing educational tasks to avoid the need for monetary authoring incentives. Because not all educational tasks are equally motivating, there is a tension between designing the human computation task…

Varner, Laura K.; Jackson, G. Tanner; Snow, Erica L.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2013
This study expands upon an existing model of students' reading comprehension ability within an intelligent tutoring system. The current system evaluates students' natural language input using a local student model. We examine the potential to expand this model by assessing the linguistic features of self-explanations aggregated across entire…
