How to mark a student's work with AI (Draft feedback)

Draft feedback reads a student's work, suggests a grade or mark for each heading, and writes feedback in your marking style. It usually takes under a minute, and you can check and change everything before saving.

Steps

1. Open the assessment and click a student in the list on the left.

2. Make sure their work is uploaded. You'll see it under Student Work on the right. If it isn't, see How to add students' work to an assessment.

3. In the toolbar at the bottom, click Draft feedback (or press Ctrl + D, or ⌘ + D on a Mac). You can also click Draft from work under the student's work.

4. Watch the progress bar: Reading Ava's work… Marking Question 1… Writing feedback…

5. When it says Feedback drafted for Ava, check each heading:

   • The suggested grade or mark is marked with a small ✦.

   • The drafted feedback appears in each box, highlighted as a draft.

6. Change anything you disagree with. See How to check and change the AI's suggested grades.

7. Click Save (top right) or press Ctrl + S (⌘ + S on a Mac).

Save time: You don't have to wait. Start Draft feedback, move on to the next student and start theirs too. Drafts carry on in the background and will be waiting when you go back.

Good to know: Nothing is saved until you click Save. Students never see anything until you print or share it.
