Abstract

Automated scoring of essays is founded upon the pioneer work of Dr. Ellis B. Page. His creation of Project Essay Grade (PEG) sparked the growth of a field that now includes universities and major corporations whose computer programs are capable of analyzing not only essays but short-answer responses to content-based questions. This chapter provides a brief history of automated scoring, describes in general terms how the programs work, outlines some of the current uses as well as challenges, and offers a glimpse of the future of automated scoring.
