For QCE English.

Edexia is the only QCE Aligned AI grading tool built specifically for QCE English. Calibrated to official rubrics, it supports every text on the QCE study list across Units 1 to 4.

Built on the QCAA Rubric

Every criterion and grade descriptor from the QCAA English rubric is built into Edexia's grading system. The AI evaluates essays against official QCAA standards. A team of experienced QCE English educators trains and validates the system on an ongoing basis.

Every Text on the Study List

For each text, Edexia maintains a knowledge base of themes, authorial intent, key passages, and critical context. This means the AI understands what a strong essay about that specific text looks like, not just what a generically good essay looks like.

Units 1 to 4

Edexia supports every unit in QCE English. From perspectives in texts and texts in culture (Units 1 and 2) through textual connections and close study of literary texts (Units 3 and 4), the system grades responses against the official rubric for each task. Each unit uses its own rubric mapping and assessment criteria.

Internal Assessments, External Assessment, and Moderation

Edexia is used for Internal Assessments, External Assessment practice, and ongoing formative assessment throughout the QCE English year. Teachers can run full classes through Edexia, then review and moderate the AI grades as a department. This makes moderation faster and gives every student detailed, criterion-level feedback that would be impossible to write by hand at scale.

In a trial across 579 essays at St Bernard's College, Edexia achieved 81.2% exact agreement with teacher grades and 98.3% within one grade band. Read more about accuracy.
