Code.org, in collaboration with the Piech Lab at Stanford University, has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) teaching assistant that can significantly reduce the time it takes for computer science teachers to grade coding projects, according to Education Slice.
In a limited pilot project, the tool’s assessment closely matched that of experienced computer science teachers. Code.org plans to invite an additional 300 teachers to test the tool and hopes to make it widely available by the end of the year.
Some educators see the potential benefits of AI in grading. Others are concerned about outsourcing subjective tasks.
The AI tool is particularly useful for grading coding projects, as it can quickly and accurately determine if certain requirements are met.
