Abstract

The feedback given by teachers to students about assessment activities is essential for building students' knowledge and understanding about their learning trajectory. However, teachers are often unable to provide quality feedback in a timely manner due to work overload and lack of time, generating frustration for everyone involved. Tutoring is a platform with the objective of supporting teachers in correcting assessment activities faster, while maintaining quality and personalization. For that, Tutoring was developed prioritizing usability, resources for correction of discursive questions, and artificial intelligence techniques.
