Pilot focus group assesses AI feedback effectiveness in programming for open and distance learners, indicating positive engagement and confidence gains.
This study examines CodeMentor-AI, an AI-powered tool that delivers immediate, adaptive and context-aware feedback on programming tasks. It supports iterative practice and self-managed learning to better prepare ODL learners for graded assessment. In a pilot focus group with eight ODL programming students, participants reported rapid assistance, clear understanding, practical gains, sustained engagement and motivation, and increased confidence to tackle the graded assessment and collectively strengthened self-managed learning.
