Using AI to support teachers in marking, portfolio management and moderation for Key Stage 2

Embeddable worked with Assessable to evaluate an existing proof-of-concept, move to MVP and launch into commercial partnerships with a number of primary schools.

The project

AI-assisted handwriting marking and moderation that is accurate and efficient, and can be safely procured by schools.

Assessable set out to create a product that is accurate and efficient, whilst still keeping teachers in control of marking and feedback of their pupils.

• Teachers invest a significant amount of time in marking and portfolio management, but speed isn’t the primary concern. An AI that takes time but is accurate is much more valuable.
• The teacher remains in the driving seat, where AI pupil feedback is provided for review and subsequently edited or approved by a teacher.
• Governance and data protection are critical to protect the information of young people.

Key results

Successful Pilot

Assessable successfully piloted the MVP with a number of schools across England, attaining over 90% AI feedback accuracy.

Agile Team

Assessable now has a multi-discipline team onboard, with rigorous governance processes in place to keep the business digitally secure.

Investment Ready

With SEIS in place, product in-market, and schools onboard, Assessable are well placed to open their latest investment round.

The discovery

Our discovery process reviewed the state and results of the previously built proof-of-concept, working with the founding team and other stakeholders to scope the subsequent MVP – a move away from a no-code build, to a bespoke, agentic platform.

Working alongside specialists in UX and AI architecture, Embeddable developed a costed, time-bound scope and oversaw the development of the new platform, whilst also leading on the implementation of the UI layer and the foundations of the businesses data governance requirements.

• Decoupled AI, API and front-end layers
• Interactive assessment framework and moderation folders
• Upload photographs of handwritten work from any device
• Security aligned with expectations of schools and public sector authorities

The results

Working with the Assessable team and other stakeholders, the MVP was delivered on time and on budget, subsequently launching as a pilot with a number of schools across England.

We subsequently engaged as the fractional CTO for Assessable to lead on technology scaling, and continue to work with the team today.

• Successfully pilot with primary schools across England
• SEIS ready and product in-market
• Robust data governance and security practices in place

Summary

Assessable: MVP, Pilots, Product Launch

We helped the founders of Assessable take the insight from their proof-of-concept and translate that into a fully-fledged AI product that’s been piloted and procured by schools across England.
