Authentic, anonymous error-analysis has become a regular part of my practice thanks to this handy app.

Not only is student work instantly available for analysis, anonymous student work can be “launched” by the teacher to all students’ iPad screens for discussion. Work samples are also accessible by the teacher as a series of image files for further analysis after class is over.

I completely agree that examining this student work is essentially for getting at their understandings and misunderstandings. We need to make student work products, even when done on technology, available to teachers. He also writes that “most machine-graded systems hold back students with wrong answers.” This is a problem with the system design, not machine-grading. We can create machine learning systems to identify misconceptions. What happens next depends totally on what we tell the system to do. Do we want the student to move on? Do we want to alert the teacher? Do we want them to go to a different set of exercises? This decision is part of building an “instructional model” on which a technology system should be based. […]

Not only is it good for the teachers and a better way to get information for the students, I think is it also a more fun way for students to interact and engage in the lesson. It encourages the students to complete the problem so they can take a picture of it and turn in it, love it!
