一句话：提出 LLM 驱动的 EDI 集成工具 GenEDIt，帮助软件工程教师在不改变教学目标的前提下将 EDI 融入教学材料。
公平、多样与包容（EDI）在软件工程中被广泛认可为必要，但由于时间压力、教师信心不足以及资源碎片化，其在日常教学中的融入仍不常见。本文提出 GenEDIt，一个专门构建的、由大语言模型支持的聊天机器人，帮助教育者在不改变预期学习成果的前提下，将 EDI 融入软件工程教育制品。与通用聊天界面不同，GenEDIt 提供定制化的用户界面与工作流，并嵌入对经过审核的 EDI 知识库的检索。该工具支持五种以教育者为中心的模式：（1）将 EDI 融入现有活动的方法；（2）示例与数据集；（3）融入 EDI 的评估与评分标准；（4）反思性提示；（5）对教案的快速审计，另设开放式模式以支持自由形式请求。作者描述了 GenEDIt 的主要功能，并报告了在多所大学开展试点的早期经验，同时公开工具、源代码与全部制品以促进复现与更广泛的采用。
Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is widely acknowledged as essential in software engineering (SE), yet day-to-day integration into teaching remains uncommon due to time pressures, low instructor confidence, and fragmented resources. We present GenEDIt, a purpose-built, LLM-backed chatbot that helps educators weave EDI into SE education artefacts without altering intended learning outcomes. Unlike generic chat interfaces, GenEDIt provides a tailored UI and workflow, and embeds retrieval over a vetted EDI knowledge base. The tool supports five educator-centred modes—(1) methods for integrating EDI into current activities; (2) examples/datasets; (3) EDI-integrated assessments and rubrics; (4) reflective prompts; and (5) rapid audits of lesson plans—plus an open-ended mode for free-form requests. We describe the main functionalities offered by GenEDIt and report on early experiences from pilots across various universities. We make the tool, source code and all artefacts publicly available to facilitate replication and broader adoption of our tool.
