Back in March, some colleagues and I started toying with an idea to create a new class of programming problems. We call them Prompt Problems and created a tool, called "Promptly", to deliver them. Check out our early results paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2307.16364

Interested in large language models and their potential applications in computing education? I’m looking for a (fully-funded) PhD student to study how novices use LLMs and how LLMs can be used to create educational resources Computer Science. Find out more & apply aalto.fi/en/open-positi…

Loved giving our talk at #CHI2024 on past, present, and future work on novice programmers using GenAI. I presented some work from our TOCHI paper, things we saw then that we still see today, and how we think we can begin to address it.

Very disappointed that I already pay for #Dropbox but somehow can't use Dropbox Capture without paying even more money. Well, back to GIPHY.
