Pass-Fail Feedback is a valuable tool within Speakable that simplifies the grading process for free response activities. This feature provides clear and immediate feedback, helping students understand their performance and areas for improvement. Here’s how it works and the benefits it brings to the classroom:

How It Works:

1. Grading Criteria Setup:

Teachers begin by setting specific grading criteria for the free response activities. This is essentially a prompt that the AI uses to evaluate each student’s response. The criteria can be as simple or detailed as needed, ensuring alignment with the learning objectives.

2. AI Evaluation:

Once the criteria are set, the AI evaluates each student’s written or spoken response based on the provided prompt. The AI checks for the essential components and adherence to the criteria, determining whether the response meets the pass or fail threshold.

3. Immediate Feedback:

Students receive instant feedback on their responses. They are informed whether they passed or failed, along with an explanation of the evaluation. This immediate feedback helps students quickly understand their performance and the specific reasons behind their grades.

4. Teacher Control:

Teachers retain full control over the grading process. They can review the AI-generated evaluations and make adjustments in their gradebooks if necessary. This ensures that the final grades reflect the teacher’s judgment and any additional considerations.

Benefits:

• Efficiency: Automating the grading process saves teachers significant time, allowing them to focus more on instruction and less on manual grading.

• Clarity: Providing immediate pass-fail feedback helps students understand their performance quickly and clearly.

• Consistency: Using AI to evaluate responses ensures that all students are assessed against the same criteria, promoting fairness and consistency.

• Actionable Feedback: The explanations accompanying the pass-fail feedback help students understand why they received a particular grade and what they can do to improve.

Advanced Features:

• Customizable Criteria: Teachers can easily modify the grading criteria to fit different assignments and learning goals.

• Integrated Feedback: The pass-fail feedback integrates seamlessly with other Speakable features, providing a cohesive assessment experience.

• Real-Time Adjustments: Teachers can adjust grades and provide additional feedback in real-time, ensuring that the final evaluations are accurate and comprehensive
