Second CSE Group Members’ Event Date and time: 12/02 (Monday) from 12:00pm to 2:00pm, with lunch and networking at 2:00pm In-person venue: Informatics Forum, Room G.03, Edinburgh Remote attendance link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3aQAk3dIs5RyzV0TlwxiQs_LWlrWVDfO3ymX_2pc-CgGc1%40thread.tacv2/1702403156894?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%222e9f06b0-1669-4589-8789-10a06934dc61%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%228bc8cd7b-fde7-478c-aa97-b013fd84432e%22%7d Organisers: Aurora Constantin and Borislav Ikonomov You are invited to the second meeting of the Computer Science Education (CSE) group at the University of Edinburgh School of Informatics. The main theme of this session will be automated marking. We will begin with a keynote session, in which Martin Goodfellow will talk about his recent paper where they discuss how they utilised automated marking for several programming courses at the University of Strathclyde. After that, we will have a more open discussion where we (the members) will talk about our research interests regarding automated marking and whether we would be interested in collaborating on the topic. Finally, we will also have an open discussion on ideas for student projects (both undergrad and postgrad). There will also be lunch provided at 2pm at the official end of the session - courtesy of SICSA, who is funding these events. This is a good opportunity for further chat! Some more details are presented below. Keynote (12-1pm) (This keynote welcomes anyone with an interest in the field of education). Title: Automated Marking in Undergraduate Programming Classes Host: Pawel Orzechowski, Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh Speaker: Martin Goodfellow, Senior Teaching Fellow at the University of Strathclyde Martin will talk about a paper (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3633053.3633060) that he and his colleagues from the University of Strathclyde published. An excerpt from the abstract likely summarises it best: "This paper details how automated marking was successfully utilised in multiple undergraduate classes, with a programming element, at the University of Strathclyde. We made use of two automated systems, CodeRunner, and one similar in-house system, Browser Automated Marking (BAMjs) [...]. We provide some example questions, discuss how its use has affected student performance, as well as student feedback on the approach." CSE Group Meeting (1-2pm) Research in Automated Marking Tools Brief Overview of existing Automatic Marking Tools Open Discussion - What are people's interests regarding research of automated marking tools? What challenges exist? Any novel research ideas? Ideas for Student Projects Brief overview of some existing UG/MSc projects Brainstorming on potential new project ideas - Is there potential for collaboration? Ideas for next CSE group members’ meeting Feb 12 2024 12.00 - 14.00 Second CSE Group Members’ Event 12th February 2024 @ 12-2 pm , Informatics Forum G.03 and online Informatics Forum, room G.03, 10 Crichton St, Newington, Edinburgh EH8 9AB
