Conejo, Ricardo; Barros, Beatriz; Bertoa, Manuel F. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
This paper presents an innovative method to tackle the automatic evaluation of programming assignments with an approach based on well-founded assessment theories (Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT)) instead of heuristic assessment as in other systems. CTT and/or IRT are used to grade the results of different items of…

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…

Sykes, Edward R. – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2010
The Java Intelligent Tutoring System (JITS) research project explored the power of a new approach to supporting beginner Java programming students. Using Java's grammar as the core of its production rule base, JITS is embedded with extra functionality to detect, predict and correct lexicographical errors in students' code. This additional…
