Enlighten AI is an AI-powered assessment and feedback platform designed to help teachers provide timely, personalized feedback while reducing grading workload. Educators can create or customize rubrics, evaluate student work, and generate actionable feedback that supports student growth. The platform adapts to a teacher's grading preferences over time, helping ensure that AI-generated feedback aligns with individual instructional practices. Teachers can use Enlighten AI to assess assignments, analyze student performance trends, and access data that helps guide future instruction. The platform supports integrations with tools such as Google Classroom and can work with a variety of student submission formats. Feedback can be reviewed, edited, and shared with students, while reporting tools help educators identify strengths, misconceptions, and learning needs across a class. A free teacher plan is available and includes access to core grading, rubric, and feedback features, while premium plans provide expanded usage and additional capabilities. As with any AI-powered tool, teachers should review all generated feedback and scores before sharing them with students.

In the Classroom
Students could create a short video summarizing a book they've read; this engages them by encouraging creative expression and storytelling skills. Use Padlet, reviewed here for students to create and share videos. Have students view each other's videos, then discuss the variety of perspectives and styles, deepening their understanding of storytelling. Assign students a historical figure to research, then have them create a short "video diary" as that person during a key event. Students can create short videos explaining a science topic, like the water cycle or photosynthesis. In small groups, students create short videos demonstrating how to solve a math problem or explain a concept, like fractions or basic geometry.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
