Speakable also offers AI Graded methods for more nuanced evaluation of spoken and written responses. This grading can be done in two ways: Pass/Fail or Rubric-Based.
Pass/Fail Grading
How It Works: The AI evaluates the student’s response against a simple grading criteria—a textual description of what constitutes a correct answer.
Scoring: If the AI determines that the response meets the criteria, the student receives full points. If not, they receive none.
Availability: This method is available on both Organization and Teacher Pro plans.
Use Case: Ideal for tasks with clear, binary outcomes, such as basic comprehension checks.
Rubric-Based Grading:
How It Works: The AI uses a rubric to assess responses across multiple criteria, such as grammar and relevance.
Creating a Rubric: Teachers can create a custom rubric or use AI to generate one. Speakable also offers pre-made rubric templates.
Scoring Process:
The AI assigns a score for each criterion based on predefined levels (e.g., Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).
The final score is calculated by dividing the total points earned by the total possible points across all criteria.
Use Case: Best suited for complex tasks requiring detailed, criterion-based feedback, such as essays or spoken language assessments.
