Introduction
This chapter documents the advent and rise of automated essay scoring (AES) as
a means of both assessment and instruction. The first section discusses what AES is, how
it works, and who the major purveyors of the technology are. The second section
describes outgrowths of the technology as it applies to on-going projects in measurement
and education.
In 1973, the late Ellis Page and colleagues at the University of Connecticut
programmed the first successful automated essay scoring engine, "Project Essay Grade
(PEG)" (1973). The technology was foretold some six years earlier in a landmark Phi
Delta Kappan article entitled, "The Imminence of Grading Essays by Computer" (Page,
1966)
