This paper investigates the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) ChatGPT-3.5 and GPT-4 in solving introductory programming tasks. Based on performance, implications for didactic scenarios assessment formats utilizing LLMs are derived. For analysis, 72 Python tasks novice programmers were selected from free site CodingBat. Full task descriptions used as input to LLMs, while generated replies evaluated using CodingBat's unit tests. In addition, general availability textual explanations...

Innovation and technology in computer science education is driven by research practice. Both of these activities involve the gathering analysis data order to develop new tools, methods including software, or strategies solve recent challenges field. However, as basis for any solution hardly shared, reused recognized. This due fact that publication encompasses a number researchers, while benefits publishing remain low. As result, further analyses part secondary are uncommon community....

In this paper, we present an FDO[1] implementation focusing on standardized scientific research data exchange. Using DOIP[2] and Cordra[3] based a concrete FDO model with assumed layers compositions, implement some basic use-cases of exchanging/handling FDOs, introduce services to handle FDOs. We workflows orchestrate the application services. These define foster FDO-based ecosystem data. Our work was funded by German Research Foundation(DFG) within KonsortSWD, consortium for social,...

Data exchange is a key activity that Research Centers (RDCs) provide. To do so, current interfaces typically cater to community-specific needs, leading fragmented approach when dealing with inter-RDC scenarios. The interface we propose aims facilitate data and scientific workflows across RDCs in the German National Infrastructure (NFDI) initiative. We balance generic domain-specific requirements by employing two principles - RESTful architecture style FAIR Digital Object (FDO) model mapping...

This paper presents a perspective on equity by examining the inherent exclusivity of academic conferences within context computing education research. Our delves into unequal opportunities faced (young) researchers, which are rooted in challenges limited mobility, finances, and, for example, family obligations preventing equitable participation. By identifying and interrogating these barriers, advocates reevaluation conference structures to foster inclusivity address systemic issues that...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have taken the world by storm, and students are assumed to use related tools at a great scale. In this research paper we aim gain an understanding of how introductory programming chat with LLMs tools, e.g., ChatGPT-3.5. To address goal, computing large German university were motivated solve exercises assistance ChatGPT as part their weekly course exercises. Then (n=213) submitted protocols (with 2335 prompts in sum) data basis for analysis. The was analyzed...

Point-based geometry representations have become widely used in numerous contexts, ranging from particle-based simulations, over stereo image matching, to depth sensing via light detection and ranging. Our application focus is on the reconstruction of curved line structures noisy 3D point cloud data. Respective algorithms operating such clouds often rely notion a local neighborhood. Regarding latter, our approach employs multi-scale neighborhoods, for which weighted covariance measures...

Abstract Digitisation has increasingly become a feature of education. Educational policy, too, focused on digital processes and structures. Digital data opens up opportunities to improve the governance continuing education given inadequacy existing statistics in field training (CET). In this paper we use InfoWeb Weiterbildung (IWWB) demonstrate how CET search portals could be used as source map available supply CET. Using trends delivery formats (online vs. face-to-face) regional...

Current lifelong learning platforms offer users a query option to select wide variety of courses. However, finding suitable course among the seemingly endless catalogs options presented by is not straightforward. We argue that digital counseling can enhance this process. In paper, we present set three formative studies where explored main aspects provide needed. The methods comprise an analysis user profile characteristics and analytics indicators (e.g., progress/self-regulation) means...

Managing research data and preparing it for long term archiving at a center is time-consuming, repetitive error prone process without obvious rewards or incentives. To address these challenges, we aim the integration of standard management tool into one centers German Network Educational Research Data. The goal to improve workflows both, donors curators explore transferable solutions that allow researchers work on same platform when entering editing metadata.

Using perception in the context of rendering is a wide spread field. It can be used to speed up calculations or create more detailed images by refining important areas. Saliency, as based method, identify regions interest, which should contain detail. But currently no complete mapping 2D operators an 3D equivalent has been defined. We propose Bidirectional Saliency Weight Distribution Function (in short BSWDF). this function evaluate surface element local saliency value obtained. The global...
