  • Breaking the Assessment Bottleneck: Finding Human-AI Balance in Feedback at Scale

    10:00 - 10:50 am
    CITL Innovation Studio, Armory room 172 and online via Zoom

    At-scale programs face a dilemma: how to maintain educational quality and a great experience while keeping programs affordable and sustainable.
