AlignED Studies

When can an AI’s judgement be trusted?

AI already grades essays, gives students feedback and advises teachers. AlignED Studies tests that judgement on the tasks teachers actually do, instead of taking it on trust.

Independent research, run by Timothy Gallagher. Much of it is done with AI assistance.

Studies

Four published reports and the work in preparation, organised under five research questions, from a 32-model benchmark of professional teaching tasks to how 152,000 real conversations used AI for education. Each study states its status, models, data, and main limitation up front.

Aligned Interviewer

An AI-led interviewer that holds adaptive, one-question-at-a-time qualitative interviews, then synthesises what emerges across many conversations. Participation is by invitation — if you’ve been sent a link, it opens your interview directly.
