Beyond Simple Input-Output Assessment Tasks: Leveraging Automated Programming Assessment for Non-Trivial Courses

The article discusses how machine learning exercises can be designed for automated assessment tools, framing them as deterministic input-output tasks. It emphasizes that this approach does not create a new grading system but enables existing platforms (e.g., VPL for Moodle, Codeforces, MOJ) to support AI education more effectively. The authors argue that integrating theory with practice through such exercises can foster dynamic, interactive AI courses.

Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring

StudentSim is a research system developed by Microsoft Research that simulates how students interact with AI tutoring tools. It allows researchers to evaluate and refine tutor performance before deploying them to real learners. The system covers multiple subjects, including chess, writing, and mathematics, and provides feedback to improve tutoring effectiveness.
