Computer Science Faculty Awarded $9,000 Grant to Develop AI-Driven Adaptive Learning System

With help from a newly awarded grant, Middle Georgia State University (MGA) is leading an innovative artificial intelligence-related (AI) research project to create even better learning experiences for computer science students.

Dr. Myungjae Kwak, chair of MGA’s Department of Computer Science, and Dr. Jongho Seol, assistant professor, were recently awarded a $9,000 Affordable Materials Research Grant from Affordable Learning Georgia. Through this award, faculty members will fund the research, development, and evaluation of AI-based Python programming language learning software, which will be used in computer science courses in spring 2026.

“Our goal is to harness the power of artificial intelligence to create a truly personalized learning experience for students,” said Kwak. “By developing this adaptive platform, we’re not only improving how programming is taught, but also advancing affordable, high-impact educational tools for the future.”
