Maran’s energetic and engaging teaching style is known for transforming dry, introductory-level lectures on web development and software programming fundamentals into fun, interactive, exercise-filled classes. However, Maran said he faces the challenge of engaging a diverse student body with different levels of knowledge and experience in different time zones. With over 100 teaching assistants, providing tailored support to such a large and diverse population is becoming increasingly difficult.

To tackle this problem, Professor Malan and his team meticulously fine-tune AI systems to effectively assess student assignments. We are also testing a virtual teaching assistant (TA) that goes beyond just error detection. Virtual TA leverages rhetorical questions and provides insightful suggestions to expedite the student’s learning process, helping students improve their coding skills. Additionally, this innovative approach is expected to allow her human TAs to spend more time conducting office hours in person or online, enhancing student-teacher interaction.

The integration of AI into education holds immense potential, but concerns around fraud and plagiarism have surfaced among educators. Some educational institutions have even gone so far as to ban the use of AI technology. The advent of AI is also impacting online education businesses, with companies like Chegg Inc. reporting slowing subscriber growth due to the popularity of OpenAI’s free chatbots.
