IntelliMetric®: How it Works

IntelliMetric® is based on 30 years of research and development and has been used to score open-ended essay assessments since 1998. IntelliMetric® is the first commercially successful tool able to administer open-ended questions and provide immediate feedback to students.

In order to score essays, IntelliMetric® "learns" from a set of responses previously determined by experts. In this way, IntelliMetric® understands the combined judgments of human scorers.
