eSkilled has unveiled a major advancement in digital assessment with the launch of AI-assisted marking, now built directly into its award-winning corporate LMS. Recognised with Gold at the LearnX® Awards for Best AI Tech (LMS EdTech), this innovation transforms how organisations evaluate written responses—bringing unprecedented speed, consistency, and fairness to a task that has traditionally been slow and labour-intensive.
A New Era for Assessors and Learning Teams
In corporate training environments, open-text responses are often the best indicator of real understanding. Yet marking them is time-consuming, subjective, and difficult to scale—especially across large teams or distributed workforces.
eSkilled’s AI-assisted marking addresses this challenge head-on. Instead of replacing assessors, the technology works alongside them, automating the initial evaluation and letting trainers focus on higher-value tasks such as coaching, moderating, and quality assurance.
For organisations using a corporate LMS to deliver large-scale capability building, leadership training, onboarding programs, or compliance assessments, this innovation radically improves efficiency without compromising judgement.
How AI-Assisted Marking Works
The AI engine analyses learner responses using natural language processing and generates:
- Draft scores aligned to defined competency expectations
- Clear, structured feedback for the learner
- Highlighted evidence of strengths and gaps
- A transparent rationale for the suggested score
Assessors then review and validate the AI-generated output, ensuring fairness and accuracy remain central to the process.
This “human-in-the-loop” design is essential—maintaining assessor authority while eliminating repetitive manual work.
Why It Matters for Corporate Training Environments
In corporate learning, time is everything. Slow marking delays progression, stalls performance improvement, and limits the organisation’s ability to scale training initiatives.
By integrating AI-assisted marking into its corporate LMS, eSkilled enables organisations to:
- Mark written assessments up to 70% faster
- Deliver consistent, bias-reduced evaluation across assessors
- Support larger cohorts without increasing staff workloads
- Provide learners with fast, meaningful feedback
- Improve decision-making about capability gaps and development pathways
These improvements directly impact organisational productivity and training ROI.
Early Benefits Across Corporate Learning Teams
Organisations piloting the technology have reported:
Significant time savings – freeing assessors to focus on coaching and personalised support
Greater consistency – reducing variance between multiple assessors
Improved learner satisfaction – due to fast turnaround and clearer feedback
Higher training capacity – enabling the organisation to onboard and upskill more people at once
For L&D leaders, the ability to scale assessment without compromising quality is a defining advantage of a next-generation corporate LMS.
Setting a New Standard for AI in Corporate Education
What sets eSkilled LMS apart is its practical, compliance-conscious approach. Instead of adopting a fully automated model—which risks accuracy and accountability—the AI simply enhances assessor workflow.
This balance ensures:
- Fairness and integrity
- Transparency in assessment decisions
- Strong acceptance from trainers and assessors
- Safe, responsible use of AI in learning environments
As corporate learning evolves toward more personalised development and data-driven decision-making, AI-assisted marking becomes a cornerstone capability.
A Gold-Winning Innovation With Enterprise Impact
The LearnX Gold Award affirms eSkilled’s leadership in building intelligent tools that reflect the real-world needs of training teams. With AI-assisted marking now integrated into its corporate LMS, eSkilled has set a new benchmark for how organisations can deliver scalable, consistent, and high-quality assessment at speed.
This innovation signifies more than a feature release—it represents a shift toward a future where AI supports learning professionals, strengthens assessment integrity, and enhances the learner experience across organisations of every size.
