Abstract

Automated assessment is an essential part of eLearning. Although comparatively easy for multiple choice questions (MCQs), automated assessment is more difficult for complex artifacts such as diagrams or source code. Existing diagrammatic assessment engines often produce binary or non-specific error reports that leave students uncertain about how to fix structural or semantic flaws. This paper introduces an approach to enhance feedback in automated diagram assessment by comparing graph representations of student submissions against reference diagrams, identifying detailed structural discrepancies, and generating incremental, formative hints that guide learners toward correct solutions.

Bridging Generative AI and Gamification in Moodle: Design and Evaluation of GamiBot

OASIcs, Volume 145, ICPEC 2026

While Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle are ubiquitous in higher education, they often lack dynamic, personalized academic support. We present GamiBot, an intelligent pedagogical agent natively integrated into Moodle to bridge this gap. GamiBot combines Large Language Model (LLM)…
