Developing an International Large-Scale AI Tool for Educational Assessment and Personalised Learning

This project develops and deploys innovative educational assessment methodology integrating collective intelligence that merges artificial intelligence (AI) with advanced statistical and psychometric modelling to provide highly detailed insights into students learning progress. To alleviate enduring challenges in education assessment, the project aims to transform assessment data into targeted intervention pathways to improve student proficiency and instructional practices. It also aims to modernize assessment development to enable faster and more precise measurements.

We actively work towards:

• The development of AI technologies and psychometric methods to provide reliable and valid assessments of students’ proficiency
• Converting assessment data into practical strategies and insights for enhancing students’ proficiency.
• Supporting education professionals in designing targeted interventions with detailed diagnostic information, promoting personalized learning environments.
• Improving assessment design quality and speed by developing new item-generation and rubric-optimization techniques.

The CIME is an AI-enhanced assessment modelling framework that combines expert judgement, large language models (LLMs), and psychometric scaling to extract multidimensional evidence from student responses and improve assessment materials. The model combines large language models (LLMs) with psychometric modelling, rigorous computational and statistical validation and expert review to ensure the systems work for educators and education systems, not the inverse. It supports the creation of personalised learning materials and supports teachers’ professional practice based on diagnostic evidence. The CIME’s multidimensional approach is foundational to every initiative within the project.

This project works collaboratively with educators, experts, and policy makers from member and partner countries. We have developed tools for use in the three phases of assessment: measurement, development, and improvement.
