Case Study: Elastik frees up teachers’ time with automated essay grading by Faculty

Elastik saves teachers up to 15 hours a week with Faculty

Faculty developed an AI-powered essay-scoring solution for Elastik, an edtech company. Elastik sought to expand its suite of products by automating the marking of essays for 10 and 11-year-olds, freeing up teachers' time from manual grading to focus on student progression.

The solution Faculty built used a large language model trained on thousands of graded essays to evaluate spelling, punctuation, and grammar in real-time. This automated system, built on AWS infrastructure, is capable of processing 1,000 essays in under ten minutes. The impact was significant, saving teachers up to 15 hours per week in grading time and allowing for more personalized student support.
