In the ever-evolving landscape of education, Gemmo introduces WiseSalmon, a groundbreaking algorithm powered by machine learning, poised to redefine the way Leaving Certificate exams are graded. This revolutionary technology not only aims to streamline the grading process but also offers valuable insights to both teachers and students, ushering in a new era of educational efficiency.

Addressing Challenges in Teaching and Grading

Teaching is undoubtedly a noble profession, yet it faces its fair share of challenges. A recent survey conducted by the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation exposed the severe burnout experienced by nine out of ten teachers due to increased workloads over the past five years. The administrative burden, particularly the time-consuming grading of exams, often overshadows the joy of teaching.

Enter WiseSalmon, designed to alleviate the burdens plaguing our dedicated educators. This application leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate the grading process, allowing teachers to provide prompt feedback to students. By simplifying the workflow, WiseSalmon empowers educators to channel their energy into meaningful classroom interactions, fostering a more enriching learning environment.

With WiseSalmon, students receive not just a numerical grade but also invaluable feedback on their work. This feedback encourages self-assessment, enabling students to identify areas for improvement and ultimately enhance their learning outcomes. Simultaneously, educators can embrace WiseSalmon’s automated grading system, allowing them to focus on delivering quality education rather than labor-intensive grading.

Collaboration and Piloting

Siobhan Ryan, the visionary founder of WiseSalmon, is passionate about bringing Gemmo’s API to the market and collaborating with schools to pilot this transformative technology. As a participant in the Enterprise Ireland New Frontiers Programme with DCU/DKIT, Siobhan is committed to fostering innovation in education.

“We’re hopeful that the education community in Ireland will embrace WiseSalmon. Our aim is to enhance teachers’ lives by reducing the burden of grading and enabling them to gather comprehensive student data. Students will benefit from improved feedback and learning outcomes,” shares Siobhan Ryan.

Dr. Luca Marchesotti, CEO of Gemmo AI, emphasizes the importance of widespread piloting for the algorithm’s accuracy and effectiveness. He explains, “The more WiseSalmon is adopted and used, the better its algorithm becomes. To ensure optimal performance, we need willing participants. Exposure to a larger dataset will enable WiseSalmon to truly evolve.”

In this context, Siobhan Ryan calls upon educators nationwide to try out WiseSalmon and involve their students. Acknowledging concerns about AI’s impact on teaching and learning, Siobhan reassures educators that AI is a tool that simplifies their roles and fosters student independence. While the AI algorithm may occasionally make errors, continuous feedback from educators and students will significantly enhance its accuracy over time.
