AI and Formative Assessment

In my last post, I talked about effective formative assessments and their powerful impact on student learning. In this post, let's explore why AI is well-suited for formative assessment. I think individualized feedback is the most powerful advantage of AI for assessment. As a teacher, I can only be in one place at a time looking in one direction at a time. That means I have two choices for feedback: I can take some time to assess how each student is doing and then address general learning barriers as a class, or I can assess and give feedback to students one at a time.
