New Test for Computers: Grading Essays at College Level

See on Scoop.itThings I Grab (Here and There): THgsIGrbHT

A system developed by a joint venture between Harvard and M.I.T. uses artificial intelligence to assess student papers and short written answers, freeing instructors for other tasks.

plerudulier‘s insight:

Imagine taking a college exam, and, instead of handing in a blue book and getting a grade from a professor a few weeks later, clicking the “send” button when you are done and receiving a grade back instantly, your essay scored by a software program.

And then, instead of being done with that exam, imagine that the system would immediately let you rewrite the test to try to improve your grade.

EdX, the nonprofit enterprise founded by Harvard and theMassachusetts Institute of Technology to offer courses on the Internet, has just introduced such a system and will make its automated software available free on the Web to any institution that wants to use it. The software uses artificial intelligence to grade student essays and short written answers, freeing professors for other tasks.

MOOC: an openness I failed to see | MOOC : une ouverture que je n’ai pas vu #MOOCGdP

Third MOOC, after #ITyPA then #CRIT101, I thought this one could bring me even more than what I had experienced so far. Project management was the theme, one never knows enough about it, who doesn’…

plerudulier‘s insight:

3ème MOOC, après #ITyPA puis #CRIT101, Je pensais que celui-ci pourrait m’apporter encore plus que ce que j’avais expérimenté jusqu’à maintenant. Lagestion de projet en était le thème, on n’en sait jamais à ce propos, qui n’a pas, à un moment ou à un autre, eu besoin d’au moins une connaissance de base en la matière?

Specializing vs add another string to one’s bow? | Se spécialiser vs ajouter 1 corde à son arc?

It’s like juggling with yet another ball and not giving up on any. I’ve been considering for some time now changing job; changing status rather, stepping up to a superior level would be more accura…

plerudulier‘s insight:

C’est comme de jongler avec une balle supplémentaire et ne rien laisser tomber. Ça fait quelque temps déjà que je pense changé de job; changer de statut plutôt, jouer à un niveau plus élevé serait plus précis. Je ne pense pas être trop ambitieux, je veux juste jouer à un autre niveau, je m’ennuie en ce moment. Si en plus une certaine reconnaissance venait en plus ça n’en serait que mieux.

This is an excerpt I took from a hangout I could have participated in but chose to watch instead. Retrospectively I would have only said ‘I agree’ and not add anything else.
Stephen Judd was mentioning the resistance he and others like him encounter every now and then. Here’s what Harold Jarche responds (you need to jump to 19mn45s in the video for that – thus skipping the beginning):

plerudulier‘s insight:

Ceci est un extrait que j’ai pris d’une bulle à laquelle j’aurais pu participé mais ai préféré regardé à la place. Rétrospectivement j’aurais seulement dit ‘je suis d’accord’ et rien ajouté en plus.
Stephen Judd mentionne à un moment la résistance à laquelle lui et d’autres comme lui rencontrent de temps en temps. Voici ce que Harold Jarche répond (vous devez avancer jusqu’à 19mn45s dans la vidéo pour cela – et passer tout le début):

Dear, dear annual appraisal / Chère, chère évaluation annuelle

I don’t know if the book was ever translated in any other language: “L’open space m’a tuer*” literally :open space to kill me*, if it wasn’t it should though I suspect something equivalent, denouncing the hypocrisy of situations at work, might have already been produced.

Je ne sais pas si le livre a déjà été traduit en aucune autre langue : ”L’open space m’a tuer*”, si ce n’est pas le cas, ça le devrait même si je pense que quelque chose d’équivalent, dénonçant l’hypocrisie de situations au travail, pourrait bien avoir été déjà produit.

A widening dichotomy / Une dichotomy qui va en s’élargissant

I had a meeting this week with a person, head of HR department, during which I realized there was something odd about what she expected, what I was speaking about, what she based her communication …

… upon and what I took out of it all.

J’ai eu une réunion cette semaine avec une personne, chef du département des ressources humaines, au cours de laquelle j’ai réalisé qu’il y avait quelque chose de bizarre à propos de ce qu’elle attendait, ce dont je parlais, la base de sa communication et ce que j’ai sorti de tout cela.

Or try doing it, rather, like I have in this past year here in France and a few years ago while I was an expat in Finland. Ou essayer de le faire, plutôt, comme je l’ai fait dans cette année …

passée en France et quelques années auparavant pendant que j’étais expat en Finlande.

I already expressed my frustration over attempts that miserably failed at work. That didn’t prevent me from hoping I would succeed one day, at least I’m learning as I am trying over and over again.

J’ai déjà exprimé ma frustration à propos d’essais qui ont échoué misérablement au travail. Cela ne m’a pas empêché d’espérer que je réussirais un jour, au moins j’apprends pendant que j’essaie encore et encore.

If I wanted a chance to clear at least the first hurdle screening I knew I had to do something with my CV. I also knew I could do something about it. Indeed Age Experience is on my side.

Si je voulais une chance de passer le premier obstacle filtre je savais que je devais faire quelque chose avec mon CV.

I applied for a new position, internally, for which my experience accounts for more than my academic achievements. I just didn’t need to make it show on my curriculum, until now. J’ai posé ma candidature à un nouveau poste, interne, pour lequel mon expérience représente plus que mes résultats scolaires. Je n’avais juste pas besoin de l’afficher sur mon curriculum, jusqu’à maintenant.
