AI Review is a new curriculum element that allows organizations to automatically evaluate learner submissions using AI, while keeping instructors fully in control of quality, tone, and oversight.

It is designed for programs with high learner volume, where manual reviews would otherwise limit scale.


What Is AI Review?

AI Review is an assessment element that uses artificial intelligence to review learner submissions based on a customizable rubric defined by instructors.

To work correctly, AI Review must be used in a sequence with:

  1. Submission – the learner’s work (source of the review)

  2. AI Review – automated evaluation based on your rubric

  3. Feedback Reflection – where learners read and reflect on the feedback received

This sequence ensures feedback is contextual, structured, and pedagogically sound.


How AI Review Works

  1. Learners submit their work using a Submission element.

  2. The AI Review analyzes the submission using the instructor-defined rubric.

  3. The AI fills out the rubric and generates structured feedback.

  4. Learners access the feedback in the Feedback Reflection step.

  5. Instructors can review, edit, regenerate, or respond to reports if needed.


Custom Rubrics for AI Review

Each AI Review has its own rubric, fully configurable by the instructor.

You can mix different question types to match your assessment goals:

Available Rubric Question Types

  • Open Question
    The AI answers with a written explanation.

  • Numeric Rating
    The AI assigns a numerical score.

  • Text Scale
    The AI selects from predefined textual options (e.g. Below Expectations, Meets Expectations).

  • Yes / No
    The AI selects between two fixed options.

The AI completes the rubric exactly as defined, ensuring consistency across all submissions.


Instructor Impersonation (Reviewer Name)

You can choose which instructor appears as the reviewer of the submission.

Choose Reviewer Name

  • Select any instructor or team member in your organization.

  • The AI feedback will appear as if it was written by that reviewer.

  • This helps preserve a human and consistent instructor presence, even at scale.


Controlling the Style of AI Feedback

AI Review allows you to control how feedback is written, without affecting grading logic.

Tone Setting

Defines the communication style of the feedback:

  • Inspirational

  • Supportive

  • Neutral

  • Critical

  • Educational

  • Friendly

The tone influences language and framing, not evaluation criteria.

Scope Setting

Defines what the AI focuses on when reviewing the work, such as:

  • Suggestion-Oriented Feedback

  • Error Detection

  • Evaluation / Grading

  • Deep Understanding Check

  • Writing Style & Clarity

This ensures feedback aligns with your pedagogical intent.


Learner Reporting & AI Oversight

Learners can report AI feedback if they believe it is inaccurate or inappropriate.

How Reporting Works

  • Learners click Report on the AI Review.

  • A modal opens where they can explain the issue.

  • The organization is notified.

Instructor Actions After a Report

Instructors can:

  • Review the reported feedback

  • Edit the AI-generated review manually

  • Reply to the learner

  • Mark the report as resolved

This ensures human oversight and accountability in all AI-assisted reviews.


Regenerating an AI Review

Instructors can regenerate feedback at any time.

  • Click Generate AI Review to create a new version.

  • Useful if the rubric changes or the initial feedback needs refinement.

  • Regeneration does not affect the original submission.


Why AI Review Matters

AI Review helps organizations:

  • Scale assessments for thousands of learners

  • Reduce instructor workload without sacrificing quality

  • Maintain consistent feedback standards

  • Provide timely, structured feedback

  • Keep instructors in control with review, edit, and reporting tools

It is especially effective for universities, bootcamps, corporate training programs, and large online academies.


Summary

AI Review combines automation with instructor control:

  • Structured rubrics

  • Custom feedback tone and scope

  • Instructor impersonation

  • Learner reporting

  • Manual override and regeneration

It enables scalable, high-quality feedback—without removing humans from the loop.
