Online Computer Science Education Platform!

Providing accessibility, AI-based teaching assistance, data-driven understanding of student progress!

For Students: learn and practice programming anywhere anytime

with only a Web browser

For Educators: teach effectively with in-depth visualization of student

progress driven by machine learning algorithms

For Universities: provide hands-on computer science education to

thousands of students

Challenges with providing CS education to a large number of students"

1.Hands-on programming exercises require special hardware and software configurations
2.Instructors have limited time to help students, but it is difficult to exactly pinpoint who
needs help most and what kind of help
3. Students should learn from one another, but it is difficult to manage peer learning of
programming outside of physical classrooms

Elices solutions to these challenges"

1. Provide a Web based platform that enables learning and teaching programming from
anywhere anytime
2. Store, analyze, and visualize students real-time keystroke data to identify students in
need of help and the specific points in the programs that they are stuck
3.Enable remote collaboration through screen sharing, synchronized peer editing and
commenting (e.g., Google Doc), and 1-on-1 and group chatting

For Students: Accessibility"

A single online platform eliminates the need for

time-consuming installation and setup of a
development environment!

Students can learn programming from !

anywhere at anytime using any device !

Students can easily access, review and study

past programming materials, and instructors
monitor students codes and revisions; also
provides online pair programming features!

For Instructors: Data-driven Management"

The online platform enables instructors to

efficiently teach and manage students at scale"

Instructors can analyze and visualize learning

data to determine overall progress (average
scores, duration and number of submissions,
revision history, etc.)!

Instructors can then supplement the course

curriculum based on students feedback, adjust
the difficulty of assignments, identify and address
common mistakes, and predict students
progress !

For Students and Instructors:

AI Supported TA"

(Available Now) The platform gives faster and more

frequent feedback to individual students through
features like automatic grading, code sharing, revision
history review and plagiarism detection!

(On-going Work) Instructors can analyze and cluster

students data and identify similar groups, then
determine which groups are doing well and which
groups are in need of more assistance!

(Future Plan) Using AI and Machine Learning

techniques, the platform can help to identify frequently
asked questions and provide automatic responses!
