Validity of a graph-based automatic assessment system for programming assign...IJECEIAES
Programming is a very complex and challenging subject to teach and learn. A strategy guaranteed to deliver proven results has been intensive and continual training. However, this strategy holds an extra workload for the teachers with huge numbers of programming assignments to evaluate in a fair and timely manner. Furthermore, under the current coronavirus (COVID-19) distance teaching circumstances, regular assessment is a fundamental feedback mechanism. It ensures that students engage in learning as well as determines the extent to which they reached the expected learning goals, in this new learning reality. In sum, automating the assessment process will be particularly appreciated by the instructors and highly beneficial to the students. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of automatic assessment in the context of computer programming courses. Thus, a prototype based on merging static and dynamic analysis was developed. Empirical evaluation of the proposed grading tool within an introductory C-language course has been presented and compared to manually assigned marks. The outcomes of the comparative analysis have shown the reliability of the proposed automatic assessment prototype.

Improving Effort Estimation in Agile Software Development ProjectsGedi Siuskus
A key principle in agile software development is to manage changing user needs at different phases of the software project development cycle. It splits the development into smaller iterations (sprints) to keep both developers and customers focused on one of them at the time. By planning and working on small consecutive iterations agile teams reduce uncertainty of changing user needs. However this approach has its drawbacks too. It becomes hard for agile team to plan and estimate the whole project in advance accurately as not much information is available. Therefore agile project planning turns into guesstimation of the effort required. It is based on available information about the system requirements and resources available. This paper proposes a method to improve the agile effort guesstimation by applying functional analysis to size user stories. A number of user stories from a media company are obtained to conduct the case study. The COSMIC method is used to size the user stories in functional points. Next those measurements are later applied to calculate the final project effort. The case study concludes that COSMIC user requirements sizing method can improve effort estimation and benefit agile teams in planning projects.
Keywords: agile, effort estimation, user story, function points, COSMIC.

The document evaluates three audio feedback methods - audio only, audio-visual asynchronous, and audio-visual synchronous. A study was conducted with 33 psychology honors students and 5 academic staff members. Questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups were used to evaluate the implementation, effectiveness, and preferences for each method from both the student and tutor perspectives. Results showed that audio-visual asynchronous feedback was most effective at improving student marks, while preferences varied between high-performing and low-performing students. The best method also depended on the type of assessment being provided feedback on. Overall, audio feedback was found to provide richer feedback than written comments.
JISC has supported technology-enhanced assessment for over a decade through their e-Learning Programme, focusing on areas like online testing, formative assessment, quality processes, and curriculum redesign. Their current work examines how to better develop learner skills in self-assessment and use of digital tools for educational purposes. While e-assessment systems and assignment submission tools are commonly used, more advanced techniques have seen limited adoption. JISC's publications and projects aim to illustrate effective practice and build capacity in assessment and feedback through strategic use of technologies.

The document discusses QTI (IMS Question and Test Interoperability) standards for assessments and questions. It describes the limitations of QTI 1.2.1 used in the Common Cartridge specification, including redundant XML. QTI 2.1 is presented as a better standard that could be used for Common Cartridge as it simplifies response processing and feedback display to make it suitable for non-adaptive simple assessments and item banks. Minor changes to the response processing templates are suggested to fully align it with Common Cartridge requirements.
The document discusses the Blooming CQF-QMT project which aimed to develop a metadata standard and prototype web service that could calculate a SCQF level for questions based on their Bloom's Taxonomy classification. The project sought to address the need for SCQF levelling of questions in randomized e-assessment banks. A prototype was created that utilized Bloom's taxonomy domains to try and reference SCQF levels for assessment questions, but natural language analysis of question stems proved an inaccurate method for consistent SCQF levelling. The document outlines reasons for difficulties and positives identified, and emphasizes the value of good assessment design and alignment with other curriculum materials for accurate SCQF levelling.
The document discusses Korea's adoption and development of QTI (IMS Question and Test Interoperability) standards and tools. It outlines Korea's work to develop QTI standards from 2007-2009, create a conformance testing tool, and provide sample assessment items. It then discusses current efforts to develop a QTI filter for a Hangul word processor to allow import and export of QTI format assessment items. Finally, it lists some demo applications of QTI tools in Korea.
The document discusses strategies for a QTI Math profile that expands QTI 2.1 with additional math capabilities. It proposes a basic, medium, and large profile approach compliant with IMS QTI 2.1 specifications and extensions from JISC and UPMC for mathematical elements. The different profiles are meant to provide options for authoring tools, delivery engines, and item banking systems to support varying levels of math functionality.
This document discusses different approaches to implementing QTI 2.1 for assessment systems and the role that QTI plays in ensuring interoperability between different components. It outlines five different use cases for assessment system infrastructures and argues that for greatest interoperability, responsibility for components should be given to the party with the greatest interest. It also discusses challenges around coordinating technical profiles between systems and over time when using QTI as an exchange format versus as an intermediary format.
This document summarizes key findings from interviews conducted as part of a project examining quality in summative e-assessment. The interviews found that while delivery issues were discussed, there was little mention of important psychometric measures or standards to ensure quality. Recommendations included developing tools and exemplars of best practices, as well as providing more guidance focused on quality metrics, standards, and maturity to help improve e-assessment practices.

MathAssess is a project that aims to add mathematical capabilities to QTI items and tests, including displaying and manipulating math expressions, comparing student responses algebraically rather than by string matching, and using a Computer Algebra System for computations. Key tools being developed include MathQurate for authoring math-enabled items, extensions to existing libraries like JQTI and JAssess to support math features, and adaptations of applications like Minibix and Test Constructor+ to handle math content.
Questionmark provides a stable web service API called QMWISe that allows integration with their assessment software. QMWISe has over 100 methods for functions like retrieving assessment URLs, managing users and results. Questionmark uses QMWISe internally and recommends it as the main integration point. They also introduced a new web service method for importing questions from an external system into Questionmark's question repository.
The document discusses determining a pragmatic QTI profile. It explores:
- The goals of defining a QTI profile for UK education
- How QTI fits within different assessment system infrastructures
- Whether QTI should be used as an exchange format or intermediary format
- Approaches to profiling like community-led or implementation-led
- Methods of testing profiles such as formal testing or reference implementations
- The compromises needed like using QTI as an intermediary format, community-led profiling, and reference implementations to balance needs.
The document discusses converting items from virtual learning environments (VLEs) like Moodle to QTI 2.* format and related topics. It details the process of mapping a Moodle multiple choice item to QTI and discusses implementing other Moodle item types. The author proposes a more generic approach and tool to convert VLE assessment formats to QTI item banks. Issues around the adoption of QTI 2.* and potential ways to simplify it are also considered.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
