STARS Partners Move Towards Need-Finding, State-of-the-Art, and Design of the SRL-Enhanced Peer-Review System

At the second STARS partner meeting, the Tartu partner organized an exciting three-day participatory workshop as part of the project’s deliverables. This time, we focused on three main deliverables: a need-finding (led by Niamh McCrea and Daire O’Broin), a state-of-the-art report (led by Djuddah Arthur Joost Leijen, Roger Michael Alan Yallop, and Äli Leijen), and Designs/Prototypes (led by Ken Power, Libor Zachoval, and Daire O’Broin of SETU Computing Carlow).

Location: Room 207, Lossi 3, Tartu Ülikool (University of Tartu), Estonia — May 19–21, 2025

#Needfinding on the first day

We identified key stakeholders and tested SRL-enhanced prototypes for learners’ self-review management. The prototype was developed by the SETU Computing Carlow Team using a large language model (LLM).

#SRL-enhanced peer-review system in days two and three

Partners worked on reusing the AI-enhanced prototype, writing exercises, and submitting them to the AI system. From the system, two types of feedback or review could be received: human and non-human. Based on that feedback, learners could edit and improve their work.

#Lessons learned from the activities

The project partners planned to gather more insights from students with the updated versions of the AI-enhanced digital system. The STARS project consortium partners successfully completed the three-day workshop as part of the project meeting deliverables. The project meeting ended with further discussion on organising our next physical meeting and, in parallel, a Hackathon at LUT University in Lappeenranta, Finland, on November 3–5, 2025.
