Usually, their lecturers are expected to provide individual feedback, which can be a challenging task to perform on a regular basis. In this paper, we present the first open-source automated feedback tool based on didactic theory and implemented as a hybrid AI system. We describe the components and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of our system compared to the state-of-art generative large language models. The main objective of our work is to enable better learning outcomes for students and to complement the teaching activities of lecturers.engAutomated feedbackDialogueHybrid AINLP004PapagAI : Automated Feedback for Reflective Essayspreprinturn:nbn:de:bvb:473-irb-930730
