How are you using AI for assessment and feedback?

I'd love to know the specific tools you're using or the prompts and workflows that have made the biggest difference in your practice.

For me, the biggest shift with AI in assessment and feedback has not been automating judgment, but creating better feedback loops that are more timely, visible, and more actionable for students. I still see the teacher as the expert in the room, but AI has helped me scale formative feedback in ways that were not sustainable before.In my NCEA science classes, students often submit work...

I use Curipod for instant in class feedback and my students really appreciate it. I know because I have asked them. The teacher moderator screen also lets me give them feedback as they are writing their answers so I can confirm they are doing the right thing or point them in the right direction. For junior classes and low level work they have handed in via Teams, I have a couple of Gemini Gems...

When you are new to AI, it will feel faster to do the work on your own, but it's part of learning how to use chatbots properly. People tend to use them like Google (short keyword based questions vs conversations). The more you use them, the better you understand how to "talk" to them. Consider these tips next time:1. Enable "Thinking" in ChatGPT or Gemini or "Expert" & "Deep Thinking in...

For me, the biggest difference has been in feedback rather than assessment itself.I use ChatGPT mostly to help me structure feedback, spot patterns, or rethink how I respond to student work, especially writing. But I still end up adapting most of it myself. That part still feels important to me because that’s where I really see the student. What’s helped most is changing the prompts. Less:...

Hi Fenia - does your college / institute allow you to use ChatGPT? Its been taken off our AI tools list as the data goes out to 3rd party. We use Google Workspace for education Plus at GLLM as all data doesnt leave our domain

I'm running this experiment on formative feedback in a Gr. 10 English class this semester. Work in the class is mostly pen and paper-based (mostly to avoid distraction rather than AI use), and students respond to an assignment by writing in a notebook. No name on the page -- students' chosen nicknames only. After completing a response, students use a classroom iPad to take a photo of their...

My school is a Professional Learning Communities based school, so RTI (response to intervention) is part of our schedule and practice. We are beginning to explore using AI generated rubrics with "I can..." statements based on an essential standard attached to the rubric. We hope this will not only allow teachers to pin point data for more efficient student intervention, but also allow...

Hi Gareth, I actually own a small private language school, so I’m the one who decides what tools we use and how we use them. 😊That said, I completely understand the concerns around data privacy and third-party access. To tell you the truth, I also avoid using students’ names and personal data/information when working with AI tools. For me, the bigger conversation is not just the tool itself,...
