Atomi offers AI-driven feedback on some questions, allowing you to see how you did when you need it most.
When you submit a response, Atomi AI provides feedback on its quality. You may also see a sample answer or what a correct answer should include.
How does Atomi AI assess the quality of a response?
Our model evaluates your answer using rubric-based grading, meaning we measure your response against criteria specific to the question. This rubric changes based on the length and type of the question you’re responding to.
Generally, your response is evaluated on components like:
Your understanding of the relevant knowledge or concepts.
Your ability to use specific cognitive skills (like explaining, comparing or analysing).
How well you followed the instructions of the question.
Your ability to support your response using examples or evidence.
Your ability to write clearly and with good structure.
Based on this rubric, you’ll receive feedback on how well you did. The feedback will include:
An overall assessment of how you performed (“just starting”, “making progress” or “great work”).
A written description of what you did well.
A written description of where you can level up.
How do I access AI-marked short answer questions?
Atomi's AI marks most text-based questions in our lessons and quizzes. AI auto-marking is also available in Atomi Revision Sessions.
Sometimes, Atomi’s AI isn’t confident enough to mark an answer. When that happens, we’ll ask you to self-mark instead.
How accurate is Atomi’s AI at marking?
Atomi’s AI experts, subject specialists and high school teachers test our AI marking closely against the curriculum, so the feedback you get is comprehensive and well-informed. In comparison, self-marking is easy to get wrong, especially without a marking guide in front of you.
If you believe your answer was marked incorrectly, you can log a dispute by clicking on “Let us know if we got it wrong”. The Atomi team uses this information to further improve the accuracy of Atomi's AI model.
As a teacher, can I see what mark Atomi’s AI gave?
Student marks for short-answer questions appear in the Marks tab in the lesson progress report, just like any other question type. AI-marked answers are shown in the same report, distinguished with a single sparkle icon (see example below).
How does Atomi protect the privacy of student data?
Atomi is committed to protecting student privacy. Student data is never used to train AI models.
