EdgeEX — Using AI-suggested comments when grading Short Writing and Essay activities

When grading EdgeEX Short Writing and Essay submissions in the 4 core subject areas, AI-suggested comments are available for teachers to use.

  • Secure: Student data is handled responsibly by a provider you know and trust. It also reports back to the educator if any concerning content is found.  
  • Convenient: We’ve crafted the AI prompt with relevant details so you get highly-targeted feedback all within EdgeEX. 
  • Customizable: You can add your own voice, remove content, or add it—the AI feedback is a starting point or suggestion, but you don’t need to stop there. 

Using AI-Suggested Comments

After a student submits their work on a Short Writing or Essay (Revising) activity, suggested comments are generated. When you are grading the activity, on the Manage Score flyout, you have the option to use AI-suggested comments.

Enter a score. Then, click a suggested comment to add it to the Comment box and modify it as you wish. You can add your own voice, remove content, or leave it as it is — the AI comment is a starting point or suggestion, but you don’t need to stop there.
