AI-supported marking

Discover insights into our secure AI system and the potential for learner outcomes

We've initiated two of our own Proof of Concept (PoC) projects focusing on English language testing; the first of these on the assessment of proficiency in English as a foreign language and the other on summative assessment of English language skills in schools. Chief Operating Officer Dr. Gráinne Watson and her team developed a secure AI system that demonstrated that AI doesn’t just mark at the equivalent level to human markers, but that it can improve outcomes.

In this report, we illustrate our approach, exploring and evaluating the use of AI within assessment to enhance marking processes, improve feedback quality, provide authentic experiences and ultimately drive continually improving learner outcomes.
