Will AI revolutionise marking? (Times Higher Education 13-Jan-2025)

  • Efficiency and Consistency: AI can grade large volumes of assignments quickly, applying uniform standards and reducing grading disputes, while freeing educators to focus on teaching and mentoring.
  • Enhanced Feedback: AI tools provide detailed and personalized feedback, helping students understand errors and improve, though they require careful oversight.
  • Challenges with Nuance and Accuracy: AI struggles to assess creativity, critical thinking, and cultural context, and issues like “AI hallucinations” can lead to significant grading errors.
  • Ethical and Perception Concerns: The use of AI in grading raises fairness and transparency issues, with students potentially dissatisfied by the lack of human attention in assessments.
  • Collaborative Potential: AI works best as an assistive tool, complementing human educators through workflows like the “AI sandwich,” where AI provides initial grading, and teachers review and finalize results.
