In the age of AI, universities face critical questions about what students should learn independently versus with AI assistance, and how to assess learning as traditional boundaries shift.
Sense Education provides an assessment architecture that helps educators maintain pedagogical control while thoughtfully defining the line between human judgment and AI capability — enabling institutions to evolve with intention and prepare students for an AI-augmented world.
Universities Must Redefine What They Evaluate. As AI handles routine knowledge tasks, institutions need to shift from testing what students know to evaluating how they think, solve problems, and apply learning.
The New Imperative
Critical thinking over memorization
Problem-solving processes over final answers
Applied reasoning that AI cannot replicate
But just as universities recognize they must adopt sophisticated assessment, they face larger classes, overwhelmed faculty, and traditional feedback methods that don't scale.
Assessment
Our confidence-based grading system evaluates submissions against rubrics, directing instructor focus only to those students that require the most attention, reducing manual grading by 70%.
Tutoring
Our personalized system provides 24/7 guidance on learning patterns and common errors, achieving a 90%+ success rate in improving student work.
Learning Analytics
Insights on content and instruction efficacy, giving instructors valuable insight on gaps in knowledge and where instruction can be enhanced.
Individual learner submissions are uploaded to the Sense platform.
Sense’s AI algorithm recognizes patterns among the submissions and groups them into different solution archetypes.
The educator then gives specific feedback to each group. Each learner receives a substantive and timely assessment of their work.
Educators gain insights into learning patterns that help them assess and optimize their teaching strategies - and improve outcomes.
Is Sense interoperable with other platforms?
Yes, Sense can be integrated into any LMS as an LTI component via the LTI protocol. This enables sending to Sense student submissions with anonymized IDs. Sense is also able to integrate with IDEs, used in Computer Science courses, to allow for a seamless learner and teacher workflow.
How much does Sense cost?
Sense is available in a variety of pricing structures, from per submission, per course, and per learner licenses, to company-wide, departmental, and school-wide enterprise relationships. For more information, please contact info[at]sense-ed.com.
Can I do a free trial?
Yes, getting on our platform includes a 1-2 term free trial, depending on the type of course and the speed with which adoption occurs.
Is Sense Education GDPR FERPA compliant?
Yes, Sense Education is fully FERPA compliant with student data privacy as a priority. We implement strict access controls, encryption, and privacy protocols to protect student information in accordance with federal regulations.
What kinds of assignments can Sense Education handle?
Sense Education handles diverse open-ended assignments including computer science coding, business case studies, engineering problems, and text-based submissions. The platform excels with assignments that allow multiple valid approaches while having clear success criteria—those most valuable for learning but traditionally time-consuming to grade.
How does Sense Education's AI tutoring differ from general AI tools like ChatGPT?
Unlike general AI tools, Sense Education is specifically designed for educational assessment with a hybrid approach combining machine learning and specialized AI models optimized for pedagogical effectiveness. Our proprietary LBE Process makes models more transparent, consistent, and subject to instructor controls while providing confidence levels for feedback. Sense aligns with educational objectives and teaching philosophies, focusing on features that support the specific needs of educational assessment rather than general-purpose AI capabilities.
