Assessment in Team Problem-Solving Exercises in Computing Education

Tabletop exercises (TTXs) let learner teams rehearse high-stakes workplace tasks such as cybersecurity incident response, but their open-ended, collaborative nature makes Formative Assessment difficult: teams often receive delayed or incomplete feedback. This full research-to-practice paper compares assessment methods that exploit the action and communication logs captured by TTX platforms to evaluate how well teams meet learning objectives.

The work situates team problem-solving assessment within CS Education and broader STEM Education contexts, showing how logged interaction data can drive faster, richer Feedback Loops than manual grading. By operationalising teamwork behaviours as measurable signals, it connects to Learning Analytics and the Student Experience of collaborative crisis-response training, with implications for Higher Ed computing courses where TTXs are increasingly used but rubric reliability remains a barrier.
