Atomi can now help teachers deliver radically more high-quality feedback in real time and without additional work. Most importantly, this personalised feedback accelerates learning and improves outcomes.


In this latest release, Atomi offers students instant, personalised feedback on their responses to short answer questions. This feedback makes it radically easier for students to understand the quality of their responses, including what they’ve done well and where there might be room to improve. This is especially true when it comes to nuanced problems such as identifying misconceptions, meeting specific requirements or navigating complicated marking criteria. 

Importantly, this feedback is delivered in clear, supportive and encouraging language to ensure it’s both motivating and actionable.

Scaling teacher impact

A mounting body of evidence shows that consistent, high-quality, timely feedback is one of the most influential factors in improving student attainment. John Hattie’s seminal 2009 meta-study suggests that Feedback has a more significant effect than Explicit teaching

However, the problem is, and always has been, time. 

Even the most dedicated teachers can burn out, giving up nights and weekends only to provide feedback on a tiny portion of their students' work.

With Atomi’s new AI-driven marking and feedback, teachers can ensure their students receive significantly more feedback without taking on any additional work. Best of all, they can trust that feedback is specific, timely and pedagogically sound.

AI enables a more personalised student experience

A mark only tells you so much. What’s truly powerful is understanding why you received the marks you did and how you can improve going forward. However, students often struggle to self-diagnose their issues. Over time, this can impede their progress and, if left untreated, become demotivating. 

Missing the mark is a learning opportunity that shouldn’t go to waste. 

With personalised AI Feedback, students can be offered immediate and specific guidance at their moment of need. Whether they’ve slightly misunderstood a question, overlooked a requirement or could improve their clarity or concision, instant feedback makes it faster for them to get back on track.

Available now at no additional cost

AI Feedback is now available across various subjects in Years 7–10, with support for additional subjects and year levels coming throughout this year. Importantly, it will be available at no additional cost on all paid Atomi subscriptions.

Atomi has been leading in AI for some time, and our AI features include the following:

  • AI strength scores that predict how students retain content over time.
  • Personalised revision recommendations that intelligently recommend what students should revise next.
  • AI marking, which grades written short answer questions in real-time, offers students critical feedback and provides teachers with high-quality data without any additional effort.

All of the benefits, none of the unnecessary risks

We believe it’s important to empower students, teachers and schools with the power of AI without taking unnecessary risks. Our AI policy explains more about Atomi’s work on responsible AI practices.
