AI-Powered Problem-Based Learning for Formative Assessment
Move beyond end-of-term testing. Saval turns every scenario, quiz, and challenge into a continuous formative assessment loop — with AI grading, live dashboards, and personalised feedback that reaches students in seconds, not weeks.
What is AI-powered formative assessment?
AI-powered formative assessment uses artificial intelligence to score and give feedback on student work while learning is still in progress. Saval reads each open-ended response, matches it to the teacher’s rubric, returns a score with rationale in seconds, and flags students who need help before the topic moves on.
How does Saval deliver formative assessment at scale?
Saval grades hundreds of submissions concurrently against one teacher-authored rubric. A teacher writes the challenge once; the AI evaluates every text, code, math and image response with the same prompt and strictness setting, so a cohort of 400 receives the same standard of rubric-aligned feedback as a class of 20.
Saval combines problem-based scenarios, gamified quiz modes and multi-model AI grading. Teachers author a challenge once; the AI evaluates hundreds of student responses concurrently and produces consistent, rubric-aligned feedback.
- Real-time AI grading of text, code, math and image submissions
- Configurable strictness (Flexible, Normal, Strict) for different assessment stakes
- Automatic identification of students needing support in the Performance Dashboard
- Rubric- and objective-aligned feedback students actually read
Who uses Saval for formative assessment?
Universities, colleges, K-12 schools and corporate training teams use Saval for formative assessment. Typical uses are low-stakes practice, in-class checks for understanding, weekly quizzes and diagnostic assessments. All of them share the same authoring workflow, the same AI grading engine and the same analytics.
How does it integrate with the rest of Saval?
Formative assessment is the foundation every other Saval feature builds on. Live leaderboards score students from AI-graded answers, analytics roll those scores into class-level insight, and the AI Quiz Wizard generates new formative checks from your own PDFs and syllabi — all inside one account.
