Week 3 Summary
During the third week of the project, the team made significant progress in the development of the textbook companion app. To enhance its presentation and user experience, we began exploring the integration of Streamlit, a popular Python library for building interactive web applications. This step aimed to make the app more user-friendly and visually appealing for students.
Furthermore, we delved into the idea of utilizing ChatGPT as a code corrector. With this application, our objective is to create a tool that can assist teachers in grading student code, thereby expediting the grading process and allowing teachers to allocate more time to teaching. This potential use case has the potential to streamline the assessment process and alleviate the burden of manual code grading.
Parallel to these developments, a significant portion of our time was dedicated to extensive research on the topic of integrating chatbots in education. We focused on exploring best practices and formulating a comprehensive set of guidelines for effectively incorporating chatbot technology into educational settings.
Looking ahead to the next week, our goal is to further refine and finalize both the textbook companion app and the code corrector tool.
