At TimelyGrader, we use a dartboard analogy to explain how AI and instructors can work together to deliver accurate, fair, and scalable grading/feedback. It comes from our Chief Learning Officer, Rob.
Here's how Rob explains it:
When instructors grade each student, their focus and care show. Each dart lands near the bullseye meaning grades and feedback closely match the quality of the student’s work.
... darts miss the mark. Whether it’s solo marker fatigue, or inter-marker reliability, mistakes happen and students suffer.
AI throws darts fast, grading lots of work quickly and consistently. But without human judgment, it misses the bullseye, leaving students with grades and feedback that don’t quite reflect their work.
With TimelyGrader, AI manages the speed and scale, while instructors bring the insight and context. Together, they deliver accurate, meaningful grades and feedback, hitting the bullseye every time!
