Projecte GOLEM: una aplicació distribuı̈da per a l’avaluació automàtica d’excercicis de programació

Abstract

[en] Throughout history, humans have constantly sought automation in order to simplify and improve efficiency in various tasks. From its roots with rudimentary tools to the age of modern machines, the trend towards automation has been a marked evolution. Today, this trend has expanded into more abstract areas, incorporating the automation of intellectual processes. An example of this evolution is the correction of practices in education, which historically has been a manual and labour-intensive task. However, with advances in technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning, the idea of automatic remediation has emerged as an area of interest. In this context, I have developed a web application that allows users to upload their programming assignments. In contrast to manual correction, these practices are evaluated by an automatic correction program. This approach not only aims to simplify the correction process, but also to promote an interactive and effective learning environment in the world of programming. By implementing this application, the aim is to provide an innovative solution to the traditional manual correction of practicals. The benefits go beyond efficiency, as it creates an opportunity for students and teachers to actively participate in a more dynamic and automated correction process. Thus, this project not only aims at simplifying tasks, but also contributes to the transformation of education in programming-related fields. With faster and more dynamic interaction, learning becomes a more effective and engaging process for students, promoting the adoption of new technologies in teaching and learning.
