ETITOR - The Eye-Tracking Editor

An online platform to study programmers.

WebGazer.js [1] is used for eye-tracking, code changes and events are stored according to the ProgSnap2-format [2].

To create an experiment on the platform contact Emil Folino, emil.folino@bth.se.

Welcome to Etitor - the Eye-Tracking Editor. In this editor you will be given 7 introductory programming assignments in Python. During programming you can run unit-tests to get feedback on the correctness of your solution. When the unit-tests pass a new assignment will automatically be loaded. Furthermore, you can get next-step hints provided by the Large-Language Model (LLM) gpt35-turbo.

During programming you can at any point exit the browser. You can then later on return and continue programming on your current assignment, but from scratch. So it is preferred that you take breaks between assignments.

Below is an annotated screenshot of the programming interface.
