This is truly an interesting idea, but I’m not sure I could be convinced of its ability to be successful as a fully implemented assessment tool. I do believe that it would help students because of the immediate feedback even though it is not a live teacher. Some feedback is better than none. On the other hand I could never see this being implemented as an actual grader for something like a state mandated test. How could they possibly keep the error ratio down to an acceptable number, for that matter is there an acceptable number?
