Inspiration
As students, we've witnessed firsthand how teachers struggle with providing timely, personalized feedback to students. Teachers spend 5-7 hours weekly writing feedback, leading to delayed responses and inconsistent quality. Meanwhile, students need immediate, constructive guidance to improve their learning. We were inspired to create an AI-powered solution that could transform this critical aspect of education, making quality feedback accessible and efficient for every classroom.
What it does
Evalytics is an intelligent teaching assistant that revolutionizes how educators provide feedback to students. The platform:
