Psychometricists Design Online, Automated English Tutor

MY Access! is a new Web-based computer program created by psychometricists to help students improve their writing skills. The software uses artificial-intelligence techniques to analyze papers for content, sentence construction, thought processing, grammar, and spelling. It highlights trouble spots and gives the student an estimated grade, so students can make revisions and improve their grade.
