About This Webinar

Let’s talk about grading—specifically, how AI might help us do it more fairly. Join Sari Beth Rosenberg, Kelly Booz and EdBrAIn for a thoughtful (and slightly nerdy) discussion on unconscious bias in grading. Can AI help us grade more objectively, or will it just add another layer of complexity?

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

  • Live AI analysis of grading examples to see if AI can really help us spot bias and level the grading field.
  • Creepy or cool? We’ll ask you—are AI-driven grading tools a win for fairness or a step too far?
  • Expert perspectives from Sari Beth and Kelly on the ethics, benefits and limitations of using AI in grading.

By the end, you’ll have:

  • A clearer understanding of how AI can (and can’t) help reduce bias in grading;
  • Practical strategies for incorporating AI into your grading practices; and
  • A balanced view of the ethical considerations in letting AI into your gradebook.

Intended Audience: Educators striving for fairness, tech-savvy teachers curious about AI’s role in grading, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and ethics.

Join us for a session that’s as thought-provoking as it is practical.

Register for all the webinars in the AI Educator Brain series.
