Profile

This project is implemented at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) within the Future Education programme (project no. 2416-EECS). 

Project context

Basic programming skills are often crucial to how students in several programs at EECS progress in their studies. The group examination, which is common in programming courses, and new AI tools can lead to an individual student “flying under the radar” and being approved without having acquired the necessary knowledge and skills. At the same time, it is important that KTH's education promotes and uses the latest tools in teaching. There is a great need to develop pedagogical methods and tools that enable interactive continuous learning with feedback and legally secure examination, despite limited resources.

Purpose (outcome)

The purpose of this project is to develop a new pedagogical method and concrete software to be able to carry out continuous and legally secure examinations together with learning activities for active learning.

Project results (output)

• Course material for interactive continuous learning with feedback and examination. The material enables the student to work independently, submit solutions and receive continuous feedback from the system. The key point is that the material enables students with different prior knowledge to learn based on their level. The material should be usable in introductory programming courses for the CDATE, CELTE, TIDAB and TCOMK programmes.
• AI-based platform that enables individual, formative and automatic feedback on the student's solutions.
• Methodology and tool support (software) for legally secure final examination that can be performed at individually selected times, when the student has completed all previous tasks

Time plan

Start date: 2025-01-01
End date: 2026-06-30
