Users can share their documents with writing coaches, faculty, and others for real-time collaboration and feedback.

Intellimetric is the “gold standard” in automated essay scoring and used for both low- and high-stakes assessment environments. The use of IntelliMetric provides students with two critical components: the ability to conduct numerous attempts at writing assignments with detailed feedback and to obtain that feedback instantly. With instantaneous electronic scoring, IntelliMetric dramatically reduces the cost and time required to evaluate student and professional writing. Intellimetric can also be used in scoring of essays and is used in standardized admissions tests (like GMAT), college placement tests and numerous academic settings. We can train Intellimetric to score the essays you use in your AOL reporting.
