ACTNext Navigator: Explaining the Grade: Auto Essay Scoring and CRASE

In this episode of ACTNext Navigator podcast, we'll go under the hood of ACT's automated essay scoring engine, CRASE . Our guests are Erin Yao and Scott Wood. They've been working for many years on CRASE, a product acquired in 2014 when ACT purchased Pacific Metrics. CRASE is a writing assessment tool that begins with human graders to develop a rubric. Data from human graders is used to train the automatic grading on a large scale.
