In order to compare a Student's answer to a Model Answer, Classroom must use an AI Large Language Model (LLM) to determine the similarity in an answer. LLMs are machine learning models which can comprehend text written by humans by learning from very large datasets.
Goodnotes Classroom is using OpenAI's GPT4 model to analyse and group student answers. In order to use this feature, Student's answers are anonymously sent to OpenAIs servers. Note that the feature is optional and Goodnotes Classroom will only send the student responses to OpenAI's server when the user is using Compare to Model Answer and not while using any of the other features of the app.
As our Compare to Model Answer feature uses Generative AI to analyse and group student answers, it may occasionally provide incorrect results. Certain student answers may not be properly recognised and analysed by the model. Teachers should also verify the results of Compare to Model Answer and make necessary adjustments.
