The innovation was developed to alleviate the heavy grading burden on educators and address the teacher burnout and turnover crisis. By automating time-consuming essay scoring, Feedback Aide frees teachers to focus on teaching rather than paperwork, while ensuring students still receive timely, constructive feedback to improve their learning outcomes.
In practice, when students submit essays through their learning platform, Feedback Aide immediately evaluates each response against the rubric, generating a provisional score and detailed feedback comments on strengths and areas for improvement. The teacher sees the AI’s suggestions, then reviews and edits or approves the feedback as needed. For instance, the AI might flag missing evidence in an argument or praise a strong conclusion, and the teacher can adjust this feedback or add a personal note. Once the feedback is finalized, students promptly receive their comments and preliminary score. Thus, teachers spend far less time on initial grading, yet students get personalized, high-quality feedback faster than ever. Feedback Aide acts as a teaching assistant handling the first draft of grading while teachers remain in control of final grades.
Feedback Aide launched in late 2024 and is spreading via Learnosity’s global partner network. Early adopters report significantly reduced grading times, encouraging others to follow suit.
