The role of educators is fundamentally changing as artificial intelligence tools become accessible to non-technical users. This innovation demonstrates how educators with zero programming experience can create sophisticated, customized assessment platforms through AI-assisted development ("vibe coding"), challenging traditional reliance on expensive, inflexible commercial learning management systems.
Current educational technology often forces institutions into one-size-fits-all solutions controlled by large conglomerates, limiting pedagogical autonomy and requiring compromises between educational goals and platform constraints. This demonstration addresses a critical question: What becomes possible when educators can build their own tools?
This session showcases a fully functional diagnostic assessment platform for accounting exam preparation, created entirely through AI-assisted development using Cursor, ChatGPT, and Claude Sonnet. The platform serves as proof-of-concept that non-technical educators can create professional-grade educational tools. Features include a 30-question diagnostic exam, automated performance analytics identifying students' five weakest areas, personalized delivery of targeted learning resources, and comprehensive instructor dashboards.
Critically, the innovation is not the assessment content but the development process. The entire platform (database architecture, user interface, analytics engine, email automation, and data visualization) was created through natural language conversations with AI coding assistants, requiring no prior development experience.
The 20-minute session provides hands-on exploration of both the finished platform and its creation process. Participants will see actual AI prompts that generated features, examples of debugging through AI assistance, and problem-solving strategies for non-technical developers.
Interactive dialogue explores: What tools would you build if technical barriers were removed? How might AI-assisted development change institutional technology strategies? What are the ethical implications of educator-built versus commercial platforms?
