Generation of Document Type Exercises for Automated Assessment

Authors

Publication

Abstract
This paper describes ongoing research to develop a system to automatically generate exercises on document type validation. It aims to support multiple text-based document formalisms, currently including JSON and XML. Validation of JSON documents uses JSON Schema and validation of XML uses both XML Schema and DTD. The exercise generator receives as input a document type and produces two sets of documents: valid and invalid instances. Document types written by students must validate the former and invalidate the latter. Exercises produced by this generator can be automatically accessed in a state-of-the-art assessment system. This paper details the proposed approach and describes the design of the system currently being implemented.

Integration of a Learning Playground into a LMS

Authors

Publication

Abstract
There are lot of interactive environments that encourage the practice of computer programming. Despite their usefulness, these systems are naturally disconnected from the schools' educational environments, forcing teachers and students to alternate between tools. This work integrates Agni - a computer programming learning playground - with Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). Unlike the plugins' strategy to link applications to specific LMS, this integration uses a broader approach, through the IMS LTI standard which defines a set of specifications that allows the connection of any LTI-compliant LMS to external tools.

Publication
Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Education: Enhancing Teaching Practices for Future Learning

Abstract
The education sector faces unprecedented challenges, from rapidly evolving technologies to diverse learner needs, placing immense pressure on educators to adapt and innovate. Traditional teaching methods need help to keep pace with the demands of modern education, leading to gaps in personalized learning and student engagement. Ethical concerns surrounding AI integration in education remain a significant hurdle, requiring careful navigation and responsible implementation. Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Education: Enhancing Teaching Practices for Future Learning offers a comprehensive solution by exploring how AI can address these challenges and revolutionize education. Through a collection of insightful contributions, it provides practical strategies for integrating AI into teaching practices, empowering educators to personalize learning experiences and enhance student engagement. By examining AI ethics and responsible education, the book equips educators with the knowledge needed to navigate the ethical complexities of AI integration. This book is a practical guide for educators, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners who want to harness the potential of AI in education. It provides a roadmap for leveraging AI technologies to create adaptive learning environments, automate classroom tasks, and enhance instructional design. With a strong focus on practical insights and ethical considerations, this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the intersection of AI and education. © 2025 by IGI Global.

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI), in particular Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), is a quickly developing field capable of revolutionizing educational digital escape rooms. Traditionally reliant on static content, these immersive environments have faced limitations in adaptability, replayability, and personalization. However, recent advancements in AI and GenAI enable dynamic puzzle generation, adaptive storytelling, and AI-driven non-player characters (NPCs) with agentic AI, allowing for highly responsive and personalized experiences. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in integrating AI (with the focus on GenAI) into educational digital escape rooms, integrating interdisciplinary insights from cognitive science, game design, and machine learning, and showing how AI can improve engagement, scalability, and content diversity, but also indicates challenges related to ethical AI use, bias in algorithmic decision-making, and the need for robust evaluation frameworks to assess player satisfaction and learning outcomes.
