Exorciser: Automatic Generation and Interactive Grading of Structured Exercises in the Theory of Computation |
 |
Exercises in higher education typically follow a generate-solve-grade pattern that takes days before students receive feedback on their performance. The concept of an automatic tutor, using today’s information and communication technology, aims to replace the solve-grade phase by interaction between a student and an automated tutor. This is possible in certain mathematically structured domains of knowledge where solutions and the solution processes can be checked algorithmically. Exorciser is a collection of exercises in an introductory course on the Theory of Computation where students test their mastery of basic concepts while the system’s fine-grained feedback pinpoints the source of any misunderstanding.
Exorciser was finalist of the Medidaprix 2003.
