AI Grading

AI Grading helps you evaluate open-ended student submissions — essays, written answers, and uploaded assignments — by providing AI-generated score suggestions and feedback.

Where AI Grading Appears

AI Grading is available in two contexts:

• Open-ended exercise questions — When you manually grade free-answer questions in an exercise

• Assignment submissions — When you review and score student publications in the Assignments tool

Look for the AI grading button (indicated by a robot icon ) in the grading interface.

How It Works

The AI grading interface showing a student submission with suggested score and feedback

1. Open a submission or answer that needs grading

2. Click the AI grading button

3. The AI analyzes the student's response and produces:

   • A suggested score based on the quality and relevance of the answer

   • Feedback comments explaining the strengths and weaknesses of the response

4. Review the AI's suggestions

5. Accept, modify, or reject the score and feedback

6. Save your final grade

Important Notes

• AI grading is a suggestion — You always have the final say. The AI provides a starting point that you can adjust based on your professional judgment.

• Review is essential — AI may misinterpret context, miss nuances, or score incorrectly. Always review the suggested grade before confirming.

• Works best with clear criteria — The more specific your assignment instructions and grading rubric, the better the AI's suggestions will be.

AI-Generated Content Disclosure

Comments generated by AI are labeled with a disclosure notice, indicating that they were created using artificial intelligence. This transparency helps learners understand the origin of the grading.

Tips

• Use for large classes — AI grading is most valuable when you have many submissions to review, as it speeds up the initial evaluation

• Provide detailed assignment descriptions — Clear instructions help the AI understand what a good response looks like

• Calibrate expectations — Grade a few submissions manually first to establish your standards, then use AI grading to help with the rest

• Use the feedback — AI-generated feedback can be a useful starting point for your comments, even if you adjust the score
