With virtually instantaneous electronic scoring, IntelliMetric® dramatically reduces the cost and time required to evaluate student and professional writing. Moreover, IntelliMetric® improves the instructional process by offering more frequent and immediate feedback to writers.

By allowing users to make multiple essay submissions and providing instantaneous, detailed feedback, IntelliMetric® encourages improvements in students’ writing ability. IntelliMetric® provides the following:

• Accuracy, consistency, and reliability greater than human expert scoring
• Web-based tools that are accessible anytime, anywhere
• Scoring of both short-answer and extended-response questions
• Holistic and analytic scoring and feedback
• Scoring capability in more than 20 different languages
• Detection of non-legitimate essays, such as those that:
  • are off topic;
  • are off task;
  • lack proper development;
  • are written in a language other than what was expected;
  • contain bad syntax;
  • copy the question;
  • are inappropriate;
  • contain messages of harm.
• Immediate feedback that eliminates scoring delays and promotes greater use of data to target instruction
