Colorado State bringing AI into online psych courses next fall - Tara García Mathewson, Education Dive

Artificial intelligence software from Boston-based Cognii will use natural language processing to offer immediate feedback to Colorado State University psychology students on essay assignments. Xconomy reports the software works like voice-command programs on smartphones, where instead of answering a question, the program asks one and then determines how students could improve their response to be more accurate. The software is expected to help students during formative assignments, improving the quality of work they eventually submit to professors, and it will give instructors a new layer of insight into student performance, including analytics data. http://www.educationdive.com/news/colorado-state-bringing-ai-into-online-psych-courses-next-fall/420305/
