3. Watch videos on the left for overview of other options
Snorkl provides instant, personalized feedback to students as they explain their reasoning and thought processes while solving problems or answering questions. Teachers can set up prompts or questions, students record themselves explaining their work, and AI provides feedback in the form of ratings, correctness assessments, and text comments linked to specific parts of the student's explanation. This gives students instant feedback and allows teachers to gain insights into student understanding and identify areas where students might be struggling.
