AI-Automated Assignment Scoring to Scale a Professional Development Micro-Credential Program
Tuesday July 22, 2025 3:15pm - 3:45pm MDT
UMC 247
To address needs in Florida to provide a professional development micro-credential for tens of thousands of educators, we automated an assignment scoring workflow in an online course by developing and refining an AI model to scan submitted assignments and score them against a rubric. This session describes the AI model development process and pilot outcomes. The AI system employs pre-built machine learning models and custom reinforcement learning algorithms to evaluate and enhance learners' capabilities through a continuous active feedback loop. Trials of the AI assignment scoring system in the course showed that the model became more accurate, learner mastery rates in courses using the system were equivalent to or better on average compared to mastery rates in courses not using the system, and instructor time saved in scoring can reduce the cost of scoring by one third.
