q1 i? LLM-generated feedback focused on explaining the correct answer while neglecting why specific options were incorrect, and the lessons inconsistently used terms like learners, teachers, tutors, and students. → Jionghao Lin 2025

q1 · i? · design · r2

Qualitative comparison (RQ2): two lesson designers critiqued three-segment LLM-generated lessons against their own handcrafted lessons. Designer 1 stated LLM-generated courses "tend to focus only on explaining the correct answer, neglecting the nuanced reasoning behind other options." Both designers also noted inconsistent use of terms like "learners" versus "tutors" and overly long, logically disconnected instruction sections.

"the AI-generated feedback content mostly focused on explaining the correct answer. This approach overlooked the importance of addressing why specific options were incorrect, leaving gaps in the learning experience."
