Imagine if your old trig worksheets stepped in to help you out when you were stumped on a question. That\u2019s Practice Sets, the newest Google Classroom tool, in a nutshell. <\/p>\n

Google Classroom, for folks who went to school before the internet was everything, is a widely used gaggle of web tools that allows teachers to post assignments, students to submit them, and teachers to return them online. With Practice Sets, not only will teachers be able to send out problem sets, but they\u2019ll be able to make those problem sets interactive. <\/p>\n

An algorithm will provide hints to students who seem stumped. It will automatically grade the sets as well. Shantanu Sinha, head of product efforts for Google Education, says the algorithm will recognize when students write \u201cequivalent answers\u201d \u2014 so if a question needs an answer of \u201c.5,\u201d for example, a student who writes \u201c1\/2\u201d should still get credit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re playing basketball and throwing the ball incorrectly for a day, it\u2019s clearly not as useful as the coach right then and there giving you input.\u201d Sinha tells The Verge. \u201c<\/em>I think the same thing is true when students are working through problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a teacher, you\u2019ll write each question out, and Google\u2019s AI will figure out the nature of your question (\u201calgebra,\u201d \u201cpolynomial equation,\u201d etc.) to attach appropriate hints and resources. (Don\u2019t worry, the hints can be turned off.) When it\u2019s finished, you can assign it straight from the Google Classroom interface. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a student, you\u2019ll write or type your answer to each question, press the \u201ccheck\u201d button, and get your grade right away. If you\u2019re wrong on the first try, you\u2019ll get a hint. If you\u2019re totally lost, a \u201cresources\u201d sidebar will display relevant videos and notecards that Google\u2019s algorithm thinks might be useful. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

When the teacher gets the assignments back, they\u2019ll see where the AI marked each student right or wrong. If a student made multiple attempts at a question, the teacher will see each one. Google will also provide insights, such as particular questions that everyone struggled with. <\/p>\n

While some may find homework of this sort less rigorous than assignments of old, Sinha believes it\u2019s important that students feel they can succeed. \u201cWhen you\u2019re trying to do a problem, and you don\u2019t see any way you can do it, it can be very demoralizing for students,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen they get that help, and they feel, \u2018Oh, I actually can do this, this is something that\u2019s within my reach,\u2019 it really starts to build confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Practice Sets is not the first tool to offer algorithm-based evaluation and grading. While other such platforms have proven to be a time-saver for teachers and a handy tool for remote learning over the past few years, they\u2019ve also faced their share of controversy. Losing credit due to faulty technology can be frustrating for students \u2014 families in some district<\/a>s<\/a> revolted<\/a> against the use of one such platform, Edgenuity, in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, after various technological hiccups impacted students\u2019 grades.<\/p>\n

But Practice Sets is in beta, which will hopefully give students and teachers ample time to complain about issues with the automated grading, as well as give Google time to fix any bugs. I look forward to hearing stories of crafty kids finding ingenious ways to fool the algorithm, which will no doubt be frustrating for teachers and highly entertaining for the rest of us. Good luck to all. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
