    "title": "A Case-Based Reasoning Approach to Providing High-Quality Feedback on\nComputer Programming Exercises",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Automated assessment and immediate feedback are staple features of modern e-learning systems. In the case of\nprogramming exercises, most systems only provide binary (correct/incorrect) feedback, which is often inadequate for students\nstruggling with the material, as they may need expert guidance in order to successfully overcome obstacles to understanding.\nWe propose a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) approach to improve the quality of feedback on programming exercises. CBR is\na machine learning technique that solves problems based on previous experiences (cases). Every time the instructor provides\nfeedback to a student on a particular exercise, the information is stored in a database as a past case. When students experience\nsimilar problems in the future, knowledge contained in past cases is used to guide the students to a solution. While the system\nwill provide detailed feedback automatically, this feedback will have been previously crafted by human instructors, leveraging\ntheir pedagogical expertise.",
