COFFEE, course-specific formative feedback on written assignments
A tool gives students immediate AI-generated formative feedback on text assignments against criteria the instructor defines. Teachers add contextual material and set expectations for each task, and these elements are passed to the model through quality-secured prompts, which keeps the criteria in the teacher's hands while the response time falls to the student's.
