The Process of Collaboratively Creating a Global Computing Education Terminology Resource with GenAI-in-the-Loop

Abstract

Educational terminology in computing remains fragmented across geographic regions and educational traditions. Identical terms may refer to different concepts in different regions, while equivalent concepts are often termed differently in different traditions, creating barriers to the exchange of pedagogical practices. A globally shared terminology resource will help bridge this inconsistency in usage. This working group will explore the use of generative AI (GenAI) to support the aggregation, validation, and curation of terminology from diverse sources. Generative AI will serve in a directed co-development role while domain experts will still retain responsibility for the final product. The working group will evaluate the benefits and limitations of this GenAI-in-the-loop approach with particular attention to accuracy, bias, and coverage.
