Now we have AI judges. Ho ho ho! (A reference to which - definitely Christmas - movie?)

We've now assessed over 200,000 pieces of writing using this Comparative Judgement plus AI model! Here's what we’ve learned...

🎧What’s working and what’s broken in AI assessments of learning? Libby Hills and Owen Henkel explore with Daisy Christodoulou MBE, EdTechnical’s very first guest from two years ago. @libbylhhills.bsky.social @daisychristo.bsky.social #EdTech boldscience.org/whats-workin...

Latest on our Substack - What kind of student feedback do teachers think is best? Turns out they are quite keen on summaries of their class's performance... We've created AI-generated "examiner's reports" to help them. substack.nomoremarking.com/p/what-kind-...

How long does it take to mark a set of essays with Comparative Judgement? Human CJ halves the time compared with traditional marking. AI CJ reduces it by a further 90%! Watch our explainer video & read more on our website. vimeo.com/1121894082/2... help.nomoremarking.com/en/article/h...

This has just blown my mind! 🤯

"Cars are faster than humans, but we still teach PE at school." And other marathon-related metaphors...

Latest from us - we've completed some more AI assessment projects and are yet to find an AI error. All the big human-AI disagreements are human error. Take a look at a couple of examples and see who you agree with... substack.nomoremarking.com/p/can-you-fi...

Some big news from us. We're launching our first ever national history assessment - Year 7, autumn term, Battle of Hastings. It's AI-assisted so it'll be super quick. And it's free! (But not for long!) Read more & sign up here. www.nomoremarking.com/products/cjh...

There's still time for schools to sign up for our free Y6 redrafting assessment! And who doesn't love a good plot twist?

If you have heard about our AI marking projects and are intrigued, then you can take part in one for free this summer and see if you agree with the AI. CJ Dynamo is our Y6 project. CJ Lightning for Y9. Places are free but limited, so sign up asap! www.nomoremarking.com?countryCode=GB

Using AI to judge student writing 'has the potential to revolutionise assessment and decimate workload', say @daisychristo.bsky.social and @nomoremarking.bsky.social after their trail of the approach schoolsweek.co.uk/using-ai-to-...

We think this has the potential to revolutionise assessment and decimate workload! (And in addition, I've learned the historical meaning of 'decimate' today.)

How Better Feedback Can Revolutionize Education www.econtalk.org/how-better-f... A great discussion between No More Marking's Daisy Christodoulou @daisychristo.bsky.social and EconTalk's Russ Roberts (even including a brief comparison of their respective marathon results half way through!)

Last week we published the latest results of our Australian writing assessment project. You can read a summary of all the results here. We had over 13k participating students from schools in every Australian state & territory! aus.nomoremarking.com/assessing-wr...

A free webinar demonstrating our amazing new AI feedback feature will be ai-ring at 4pm today! (My computer wrote that.)

Fascinating article on AI! (It's quite good, but for now, we’ll just have to keep on judging.)

Comparative Judgement is a proven way of assessing writing reliably without a rubric. If you're thinking "how is that possible" then join our webinar on 3 February at 4pm, take part in some demo judging of real Y5 & Y7 writing, and find out! https://buff.ly/3YzOgav

Humans and AI working in harmony! Maybe there's hope after all...

8 years ago we stopped writing comments in pupils' books and moved to whole class feedback. Teacher workload and pupil outcomes improved dramatically as a result. We have never looked back. Very pleased to see our case study in @katejonesteach.bsky.social excellent new book.

"Will football fans ever be happy..." What a great opening line, Daisy! As a lifelong fan of the wonderful Hartlepool Utd, I know where I stand on that one...

Free webinar for schools in Australia and New Zealand on Tuesday! Participate in a Comparative Judgement demonstration, then see the results, and find out about all that is on offer with a subscription to No More Marking's projects. 🇦🇺🇳🇿

Is John performing at the same level as Paul? Or is he more like George, with Paul at Ringo's level? I need help. (I need somebody - help - not just anybody...)

Latest on our Substack - first in a series on designing the perfect assessment system. We start by going back to first principles - what is the point of assessment?

This term we've been working with 40 schools on using Comparative Judgement to assess oracy. The first set of results are now out - you can read about them here. blog.nomoremarking.com/assessing-or... We assessed students from Years 4 - 9 and the top score went to a Year 6!
