Artificial Intelligence in Assessment

Study Notes

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a type of technology that allows robots or computer systems to learn and think like humans. They learn from the data they see and hear.

Assessment is the process of evaluating someone's performance or knowledge. In education, this involves checking student understanding through tests and other activities.

AI can assist educators in assessing student work. Instead of manual grading, AI can analyze and grade assignments quickly and efficiently.

Automated Grading: AI can automatically grade tests, like math tests, by evaluating answers and providing scores. This is similar to a robot teacher quickly evaluating student work.
Personalized Learning: AI can tailor learning content and activities for students. It dynamically creates suitable materials to focus on specific areas of difficulty or strengths, like giving special tasks based on understanding of the subject. This provides tailored assistance and practice for students.

AI can help in saving teachers time in grading assessments. Based on one study, it estimates that educators can save up to 30% of their grading time.

Using AI in assessment is like utilizing a smart calculator for math. The calculator solves complex problems quickly, and AI helps educators understand student progress without excessive grading effort.
