Short Answer Feedback Assistant

Short Answer Feedback Assistant

Short Answer Feedback Assistant (SAFA) provides suggested marks and auto-generated feedback for free-response questions for any subject and level.

How does ShortAnsFA enhance teaching and learning?

1. Provides feedback on a variety of responses

   • Generates marks and first draft of comments for  students’ response based on the suggested mark scheme, which teachers can edit and build on.

2. Applies to any subject* and level

   • Can be used for close-ended, short answer questions with well-defined mark schemes.

   • *ShortAnsFA should not be used for questions involving mathematical computation as it is unable to provide accurate feedback for mathematical concepts.

3. Redirects time to other T&L activities

   • by allowing teachers to spend less time on giving feedback, thereby enabling them to spend more time  with students and provide more complex guidance to advance learning.
