How do students use AI in their studies?Apply
Students and especially computer science students are among both the early adopters of generative artificial intelligence and it's critics. Knowing which AI tools are used and how they are used, is important to improve learning and teaching. The goal of this bachelor thesis is to collect and evaluate data on this topic for the computer and data science courses.
AI-assisted programming learningApply
AI is transforming education. AI chatbots are everywhere but more useful patterns only slowly emerge. In our CS Bachelor, we use the programming learning environment SmartBeans that provides students with tasks and automatic feedback based on unit testing. But this feedback is limited in scope and usefulness. The goal of this thesis is to improve the learning experience by adding state-of-the-art AI methods that go beyond chats, improving well-known factors in efficient learning e.g. cognitive load. The focus could either be on AI or on improving learning.
