What they did
The Department of Education began using a platform where students photograph their essay and receive an evaluation by competency, while the teacher monitors progress.
How it went
Students report that it is convenient and helps them identify their difficulties. The account gives no numbers.
Good to know
A minor student's essay is personal data: the school system needs a contract with the vendor and data retention rules.
The prompt
Evaluate this essay [paste] on the 5 Enem competencies, with an estimated score and one concrete suggestion per competency. Do not rewrite the text.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
Summary in our own words. Results as stated in the original account; we have not tested or audited them. Read the source ↗ Found a mistake?
