CodeAid: an LLM-based programming assistant for the classroom
LLM-powered tools like ChatGPT can assist students that need help in programming classes by explaining code and coding concepts, generating fixed versions of incorrect code, providing examples, suggesting areas of improvement, and even writing entire code solutions.
However, the productivity-driven and direct nature of the AI’s responses is concerning in educational settings. Many instructors are prohibiting their usage in introductory programming classes to avoid academic integrity issues and students’ over-reliance on AI.
Austin Z. Henley and Majeed Kazemitabaar iteratively designed a programming assistant, CodeAid, that provides help to students without revealing code solutions. It was developed by Majeed as a web app that uses GPT3.5 to power an assortment of AI features.
