+            <p>
+              In programming education, providing manual feedback is essential but labour-intensive, posing challenges in consistency and timeliness. We introduce ECHO, a machine learning method to automate the reuse of feedback in educational code reviews by analysing patterns in abstract syntax trees. This study investigates two primary questions: whether ECHO can predict feedback annotations to specific lines of student code based on previously added annotations by human reviewers (RQ1), and whether its training and prediction speeds are suitable for using ECHO for real-time feedback during live code reviews by human reviewers (RQ2). Our results, based on annotations from both automated linting tools and human reviewers, show that ECHO can accurately and quickly predict appropriate feedback annotations. Its efficiency in processing and its flexibility in adapting to feedback patterns can significantly reduce the time and effort required for manual feedback provisioning in educational settings.

-            <p>
-              With the increasing demand for programming skills comes a trend towards more online programming courses and assessments.
-              While this allows educators to teach larger groups of students, it also opens the door to dishonest student behaviour, such as copying code from other students.
-              When teachers use assignments where all students write code for the same problem, source code similarity tools can help to combat plagiarism.
-              Unfortunately, teachers often do not use these tools to prevent such behaviour.
-              In response to this challenge, we have developed a new source code plagiarism detection tool named Dolos.
-              Dolos is open-source, supports a wide range of programming languages, and is designed to be user-friendly.
-              It enables teachers to detect, prove and prevent plagiarism in programming courses by using fast algorithms and powerful visualisations.
-              We present further enhancements to Dolos and discuss how it can be integrated into modern computing education courses to meet the challenges of online learning and assessment.
-              By lowering the barriers for teachers to detect, prove and prevent plagiarism in programming courses, Dolos can help protect academic integrity and ensure that students earn their grades honestly.

-              Dodona (dodona.ugent.be) is an intelligent tutoring system for learning computer programming, statistics and data science.
-              It bridges the gap between assessment and learning by providing real-time data and feedback to help students learn better, teachers teach better and educational technology become more effective.
-              We show how Dodona can be used as a virtual co-teacher to stimulate active learning and support challenge-based education in open and collaborative learning environments.
-              We also highlight some of the opportunities and challenges we have faced in practice.
-              Dodona is free to use and has more than 50 thousand registered users across many educational and research institutions, including 15 thousand new users in the last year.
-              Dodona's source code is available on GitHub under the permissive MIT open-source license.

-              Debugging is an important aspect of programming.
-              Most programming languages have some features and tools to facilitate debugging.
-              As the debugging process is also frustrating, it requires good scaffolding, in which a debugger can be a useful tool.
-              Scratch is a visual block-based programming language that is commonly used to teach programming to children, aged 10-14.
-              It comes with its own integrated development environment (IDE), where children can edit and run their code.
-              This IDE misses some of the tools that are available in traditional IDEs, such as a debugger.
-              In response to this challenge, we developed Blink.
-              Blink is a debugger for Scratch with the aim of being usable to the young audience that typically uses Scratch.
-              We present the currently implemented features of the debugger, and the challenges we faced while implementing those, both from a user-experience standpoint and a technical standpoint.
+              Source code plagiarism is a significant issue in educational practice, and educators need user-friendly tools to cope with such academic dishonesty.
+              This article introduces the latest version of Dolos, a state-of-the-art ecosystem of tools for detecting and preventing plagiarism in educational source code.
+              In this new version, the primary focus has been on enhancing the user experience.
+              Educators can now run the entire plagiarism detection pipeline from a new web app in their browser, eliminating the need for any installation or configuration.
+              Completely redesigned analytics dashboards provide an instant assessment of whether a collection of source files contains suspected cases of plagiarism and how widespread plagiarism is within the collection.
+              The dashboards support hierarchically structured navigation to facilitate zooming in and out of suspect cases.
+              Clusters are an essential new component of the dashboard design, reflecting the observation that plagiarism can occur among larger groups of students.
+              To meet various user needs, the Dolos software stack for source code plagiarism detection now includes a self-hostable web app, a JSON application programming interface (API), a command line interface (CLI), a JavaScript library and a preconfigured Docker container.
+              Clear documentation and a free-to-use instance of the web app can be found at <a href="https://dolos.ugent.be">https://dolos.ugent.be</a>.
+              The source code is also available on GitHub.
