Topic outline

  • AI testing

    • Here we are using the test AI tool to experiment with the best settings to allow the use of AI to support an ECR (Example Candidate Response).

      The idea here is that we:

      1. Present a Cambridge question
      2. Allow the user to respond
      3. Provide feedback on the quality of their answer, making use of the Cambridge mark scheme 


      This could be part of a larger ECR item where we make use of the existing ECR and include this AI-powered self-review tool.

      Importantly - here we are using the OpenAI.api - meaning that only queries are sent to OpenAI but no Cambridge data is retained beyond the 30-day abuse policy as in their terms & conditions.

      Your grade and motivation: 


    • Example output:

      I would give this answer an 8/10. The student has provided a comprehensive list of challenges Denise has faced as an elite-level cyclist. They have mentioned the physical setbacks and effects of her childhood accident, the doubts she may have had about her ability to compete with other riders, the mental challenge of going against what others thought, the low expectations of her due to stereotypes and other people's concerns for her physical health. The student has also mentioned feeling unattractive due to society's perception of the perfect body, the challenge of being the first female paracyclist to complete the mountain tour, the extreme demands of the tour, the slow process to improve, learning to use the prosthetic leg on the bike, falling off the bike, the financial burden of needing an adapted bike and the problems with finding funding.
