How AI and Amazon Alexa are Revolutionizing Student Writing
Ecree, a member of the AWS EdStart program, was established by educators who recognized that the traditional approach to teaching writing is flawed. The overwhelming workload faced by teachers often prevents students from receiving the crucial feedback necessary to enhance their writing abilities. To tackle this issue, Ecree’s founding team developed the world’s first rules-based tool that evaluates student writing on-demand, mimicking the assessment style of a highly skilled professor. By leveraging cloud technologies such as machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and voice technology, this innovative solution aims to elevate student writing standards.
