Project Grant 2418658

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,960 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to North Carolina State University (NC State) to develop and evaluate a Comprehensive Personalized Programming Practice Environment (C-3PE). This project aims to leverage artificial intelligence and advances in learning science to provide personalized learning experiences for computer science students. The C-3PE system will utilize context-aware deep learning models to dynamically assess students' knowledge levels and provide personalized feedback and recommendations on the most suitable learning activities. The project team, which includes researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie-Mellon University, University of Massachusetts, and NC State, will conduct long-term classroom studies to evaluate the impact of AI-based personalization approaches on student learning outcomes. The project will enhance computer science education by delivering engaging learning experiences and disseminating the C-3PE environment and research findings through academic conferences and platforms.
