5.4.1. Effectiveness of existing solutions to grade students’ work massively
Automatic Grading System
Automatic grading system effectively eliminates the problems of insufficient human resources to grade students’ work. According to Abazorius (2017), the automatic grading software could accurately identify the mistakes made by students and make corresponding recommendations when it is used to grade students’ programming homework. It seems that the software work well with the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. However, it may be challenging to apply the technology in social science, and humanities courses, where reflective essay is commonly used to assessed the students’ critical thinking on certain topics. Winerip (2012) suggests that automatic grading system could be easily manipulated and it fails to understand what is good writing. Automatic grading system efficiently eliminates the high student-teacher ratio problem, and works productively in STEM courses, further improvements are needed to enhance the quality when grading essay questions.

Feedback from, both students and tutors, together with the data collected from the system will be used to analyze if AI assessment system could enhance students’ personalized learning experience. It is hoped that with more evidence that AI assessment system could accurately reflect students’ academic performance, people will be convinced AI assessment can replace the traditional exam in the MOOC platform and the penetration rate of the system will become 30-60% within 15-20
