Client-Side Gamification Engine for Enhanced Programming Learning

Authors: Ricardo Queirós, Robertas Damaševičius, Rytis Maskeliūnas, and Jakub Swacha

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 122, 5th International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC 2024)

Abstract
This study introduces the development of a client-based software layer within the FGPE project, aimed at enhancing the usability of the FGPE programming learning environment through client-side processing. The primary goal is to enable the evaluation of programming exercises and the application of gamification rules directly on the client-side, thereby facilitating offline functionality. This approach is particularly beneficial in regions with unreliable internet connectivity, as it allows continuous student interaction and feedback without the need for a constant server connection. The implementation promises to reduce server load significantly by shifting the evaluation workload to the client-side. This not only improves response times but also alleviates the burden on server resources, enhancing overall system efficiency. Two main strategies are explored: 1) caching the gamification service interface on the client-side, and 2) implementing a complete client-side gamification service that synchronizes with the server when online. Each approach is evaluated in terms of its impact on user experience, system performance, and potential security concerns. The findings suggest that while client-side processing offers considerable benefits in terms of scalability and user engagement, it also introduces challenges such as increased system complexity and potential data synchronization issues. The study concludes with recommendations for balancing these factors to optimize the design and implementation of client-based systems for educational environments.

Exercisify: An AI-Powered Statement Evaluator

Authors: Ricardo Queirós

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 122, 5th International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC 2024)

Abstract
A growing concern with current teaching approaches underscores the need for innovative paradigms and tools in computer programming education, aiming to address disparate user profiles, enhance engagement, and cultivate deeper understanding among learners This article proposes an innovative approach to teaching programming, where students are challenged to write statements for solutions automatically generated. With this approach, rather than simply solving exercises, students are encouraged to develop code analysis and problem formulation skills. For this purpose, a Web application was developed to materialize these ideas, using the OpenAI API to generate exercises and evaluate statements written by the students. The transformation of this application in H5P and its integration in a LMS gamified workflow is explored for wider and more effective adoption.

Authoring Programming Exercises for Automated Assessment Assisted by Generative AI

Authors: Yannik Bauer, José Paulo Leal, and Ricardo Queirós

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 122, 5th International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC 2024)

Abstract
Generative AI presents both challenges and opportunities for educators. This paper explores its potential for automating the creation of programming exercises designed for automated assessment. Traditionally, creating these exercises is a time-intensive and error-prone task that involves developing exercise statements, solutions, and test cases. This ongoing research analyzes the capabilities of the OpenAI GPT API to automatically create these components. An experiment using the OpenAI GPT API to automatically create 120 programming exercises produced interesting results, such as the difficulties encountered in generating valid JSON formats and creating matching test cases for solution code. Learning from this experiment, an enhanced feature was developed to assist teachers in creating programming exercises and was integrated into Agni, a virtual learning environment (VLE). Despite the challenges in generating entirely correct programming exercises, this approach shows potential for reducing the time required to create exercises, thus significantly aiding teachers. The evaluation of this approach, comparing the efficiency and usefulness of using the OpenAI GPT API or authoring the exercises oneself, is in progress.

Integrating Gamified Educational Escape Rooms in Learning Management Systems (Short Paper)

Authors: Ricardo Queirós, Carla Pinto, Mário Cruz, and Daniela Mascarenhas

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 113, 12th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2023)

Abstract
Escape rooms offer an immersive and engaging learning experience that encourages critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork. Although they have shown promising results in promoting student engagement in the teaching-learning process, they continue to operate as independent systems that are not fully integrated into educational environments. This work aims to detail the integration of educational escape rooms, based on international standards, with the typical central component of an educational setting - the learning management system (LMS). In order to proof this concept, we present the integration of a math escape room with the Moodle LMS using the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) specification. Currently, this specification comprises a set of Web services that enable seamless integration between learning platforms and external tools and is not limited to any specific LMS which fosters learning interoperability. With this implementation, a single sign-on ecosystem is created, where teachers and students can interact in a simple and immersive way. The major contribution of this work is to serve as an integration guide for other applications and in different domains.

Can a Content Management System Provide a Good User Experience to Teachers? (Short Paper)

Authors: Yannik Bauer, José Paulo Leal, and Ricardo Queirós

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 112, 4th International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC 2023)

Abstract
The paper discusses an ongoing project that aims to enhance the UX of teachers while using e-learning systems. Specifically, the project focuses on developing the teacher’s user interface (UI) for Agni, a web-based code playground for learning JavaScript. The goal is to design an intuitive UI with valuable features that will encourage more teachers to use the system. To achieve this goal, the paper explores the use of a headless Content Management System (CMS) called Strapi. The primary research question the paper seeks to answer is whether a headless CMS, specifically Strapi, can provide a good UX to teachers. A usability evaluation of the built-in Strapi UI for content creation and management reveals it to be generally consistent and user-friendly but challenging and unintuitive to create courses with programming exercises. As a result, the decision was made to develop a new teacher’s UI based on the existing Agni UI for students in an editable version. Once the development is complete, a new usability evaluation of the fully developed teacher’s UI will be conducted with the Strapi UI evaluation as a baseline for comparison.

Sifu Reloaded: An Open-Source Gamified Web-Based CyberSecurity Awareness Platform (Short Paper)

Authors: José Carlos Paiva, Ricardo Queirós, and Tiago Gasiba

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 112, 4th International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC 2023)

Abstract
Malicious actors can cause severe damage by exploiting software vulnerabilities. In industrial settings, where critical infrastructures rely on software, handling these vulnerabilities with utmost care is crucial to prevent catastrophic consequences. For this purpose, a cybersecurity awareness platform called Sifu was created. This platform automatically assesses challenges to verify its compliance to secure coding guidelines. Using an artificial intelligence method, an interactive component provides players with solution-guiding hints. This paper presents an improved version of the Sifu platform, which evolves the tool in the following aspects: architecture, data model and user interface. The new platform separates the server and client-side using a REST API architecture. It also accommodates an intrinsic and richer layer of gamification, which explores the concept of game rooms at an organizational and gamification level. Finally, it offers an improved interactive training experience for individuals and organizations through a responsive and intuitive single-page web application.
