Artificial Intelligence

Aligning with Queen's policy and guidelines around AI, Crowdmark does not use AI to create feedback on student assignments and does not seek to minimize or replace human-to-human interaction. Feedback on assignments will remain the responsibility of the educator.

Crowdmark only uses AI to automate administrative tasks:

  1. Assign Students to Booklets
    Matches student booklets to student id information on Crowdmark using an AI function called optical character recognition (OCR). 

  2. Marking multiple-choice bubble sheets
    Using  optical character recognition (OCR) technology to sort handwriting samples to mark multiple choice and true/false questions. If the system can’t recognize a given response, the human marker is invited in to moderate those answers.  

Crowdmark's statement on AI

 “In general, we automate anything that does not have bearing on a student’s direct learning experience, such as getting content into the platform or organizing it for grading teams. That’s always been part of our planning. We oppose solutions that automate point values or responses for open response questions. We never want to minimize or replace human-to-human interaction.”
