Working Group
Rationale
The emergence of LLMs and their forthcoming integration into CS education necessitates bringing together a community of CS education practitioners and researchers active in this area. This collaboration ensures LLMs’ seamless and impactful incorporation into educational practices. The SPLICE LLM Working Group’s primary objective is to foster a community where scholars can share LLM-related algorithms, datasets, reusable tools, and research findings to support CS instruction.
Community Goals
- Provide an infrastructure where LLM-based tools can be shared and reused.
- Provide a platform for sharing best practices for integrating LLMs for CS education support, including pedagogy design, prompt engineering, and user studies.
- Build an open dataset repository for fine-tuning education-specific LLMs and few-shot prompting.
- Create an open-source LLM along with an API to facilitate fine-tuning.
