Can Signal mark written answers?

Yes, on Premium. AI can mark open answers, and files students upload, in two ways:

• against success criteria: it shows which criteria each answer meets;
• against a mark scheme: write it, paste it, or upload it from a document.

You can read the marking and its reasoning for every answer, but you can’t change an individual mark yet.

Questions with neither success criteria nor a mark scheme still collect answers, but aren’t marked. On Standard, you read and judge written answers yourself.
