We are excited to release a new set of tools here at EnlightenAI that will enable you to set up assignments with pre-made exemplar student responses. With this, you can ensure that your AI teaching assistant is immediately more accurate and calibrated to your specific standards. This also makes any assignment you create a far more valuable resource if you want to share it with your fellow educators!
We build this new feature as a way to enable teachers to create sets of assignments that are aligned to specific standards like state test requirements, ACT/SATs, or AP exams. You can enter exemplar responses at different levels, and do the work to train your AI Teaching Assistant on those responses before adding the assignment to your library, sharing externally, or assigning work.
Let’s dig in:
First, head over to the right side of your screen and click “Create Assignment” to get started:
Next, you’ll see the same assignment creation workflow that you’re used to:
When you get done with the first set of assignment details, you’ll come to the page where you can give specific grading instructions. This page has a new setting where you can train your AI with examples:
This is where the fun begins! You can choose to upload as many as 5 exemplars, so you can input a full Likert scale set of student work ranging from the highest scores to the lowest:
Once you’re done uploading all of your exemplars, you can move on to use them as training for your assignment. This means you can ensure that each exemplar earns exactly the score that it should according to whatever rubric you’re using:
Why does this matter?
This means that if you’re aligning this practice with the AP test guidelines, or with a practice assignment for the SBAC writing, or just what your teacher team has decided is the right level of rigor, you can be sure that the assignment is already calibrated to exactly the level of difficulty it should be and will give great feedback right out of the gate!
From here, you can finish publishing the assignment, and you have lots of options:
You can first pick to either use this assignment later to grade with AI assistance, or you can plan to use this calibrated assignment for synchronous, in-class practice.
Then, you can decide if you want to immediately share this assignment with other teachers or with students:
If you decide to share this assignment with other teachers (and after all, sharing IS caring), then you can easily copy the link and share it with them. They will be able to just click the link you send them, and then they’ll be able to pick from a variety of options to assign the work immediately to students, save to their assignment library for later, assign on another platform, or edit and adjust as they might want to:
There is a lot more to come as we keep building out these sharing tools, so be sure to check back into our help center for more soon! Thanks for reading! If you made it this far, here is a pony to say thank you! 🐴
