Discussing marking & written feedback from @daisychristo.bsky.social From experience: -students don’t respond to it -it’s more work for teachers than learners -parent expectations make it hard to let go Is there a more effective way? substack.nomoremarking.com/p/but-my-stu...

But my students like written comments...
Feedback that is accurate, helpful, and doesn't ruin your Sunday evening

Latest from us: Feedback should be a thermostat, not a thermometer. There's a lot of effort going into producing AI-generated comments on student writing. But even the very best written comments are not great at helping students improve. substack.nomoremarking.com/p/ai-feedbac...

Feedback: a thermometer or a thermostat?
When accuracy isn't useful

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! buff.ly/3YzOgav

What has No More Marking discovered in testing the capacity of AI in assessment? LLMs have some usefulness but they cannot as yet operate independently. Newsflash-humans still needed! Study by @nomoremarking.bsky.social & @daisychristo.bsky.social substack.nomoremarking.com/p/superintel...

Superintelligent judges
Can AI models judge as well as humans?

‘Even if perfection or perfect happiness isn’t possible, it’s still worth trying to improve – and it’s still worth trying to improve VAR.’ I know little about this in the sporting context but it occurred to me that you could replace ‘VAR’ with pretty much anything.

Why does technology work in cricket & rugby so much better than VAR in football? What if it's not to do with VAR, but with fan culture instead. Is there a quantity theory of grievance - a fixed amount of anger regardless of how good the decisions are? www.spectator.co.uk/article/can-...

How to fix VAR
What if human misery is a bit like the outrage of football fans? What if there is a fixed amount of it around?
