When I taught history, I would assign students open response questions that resulted in mounds of grading. I know there might be teachers that either shy away from longer writing pieces because of how much time it takes to grade.
Right now, Litmus Learn is beta testing one of our latest features - AI assisted grading. We need classroom teachers to try it out and see if it's a feature that would save as much time as we think it will. Our AI assist takes a piece of student writing - even handwriting - and then isolates key words and phrases that you tell Litmus you're looking for in the response. Litmus then highlights instances students use the key words, and ones that might be missing.
If you're a teacher interested in saving time and testing our beta version, please reach out to me.
