Given the instructor’s rubric, let’s coach the students before they submit their work to find areas of the rubric where they could use improvement so they can reflect and learn without having to delay!
With math quizzes, we know students trying and trying again is a good learning process. Let’s offer the same on written assignments and discussions so those students who need more than one try to get it right have it. All of this is driven by the instructor’s rubric so we’re coaching the way the instructor wants.
Everyone’s juggling schedules and course workload, and students often don’t revisit assignments that they’ve submitted. Waiting for the instructor to give feedback on an assignment or discussions means the student has probably moved on from the content. With one click, we can give the student immediate guidance so we capture their attention and have them self-assess against the instructor’s rubric while they’re in the learning mindset.
It’s quick; it helps learners who need it the most; and it really raises outcomes across the board because every student can do better. With a little guidance and multiple tries, they can crush the formative assignments, leading to better results in summative assignments as well.
With AI handling the initial layer of feedback, your educators can devote more time to what they do best – engaging in deeper, more personalized interactions with students. This shift allows for nuanced guidance, focusing on areas that truly benefit from human expertise and empathy.
