With anything new there will be skeptics but the positive aspects outweigh the negative implications. More and more people are going to college and online colleges are expanding more and more. The number of people attending college have increased dramatically and oftentimes students have to wait weeks to receive grades on essays. This dramatically affects instruction as teachers are forced to give multiple choice questions or short answer questions. This dramatically affects the way that professors evaluate students understanding of the content as it difficult for them to assess true mastery of the content via multiple choice questions and short answers. This would dramatically improve pedagogy in the classroom and increase effective learning that would drive instruction. There are some drawbacks to using an automated system as there would be some papers that may be incorrectly graded but the positive implications of this new technology dramatically outweighs all these possible negative things that may occur and has the ability to take education into a new direction Thu, 30 Apr 2015 15:03:59 -0400
