Description

Understanding the limitations of automated marking of writing 

As many of you will already be aware, Brightpath now includes an assisted marking or automated marking facility for narrative, persuasive and information report writing.

Students complete their writing online, and when they do, the program analyses their writing and provides predicted scores. The marking assistant supports upper primary and lower secondary teachers in their marking, saving them precious time.

Teachers are left to focus their attention on assessing those aspects of writing that humans need to judge, the authorial aspects of writing, and they can draw on their professional judgement to refine their students’ scores.

In this session, Dr Sandy Heldsinger will explain the limitations and cautions about automated marking of writing, so that teachers can have confidence about when they can trust the scoring and when they need to override it.
