Imagine Learning's AI-Powered Feedback In Imagine Edgeex Speeds Teacher Response Times By 28%
Share
Teachers using the tool return student writing nearly nine hours faster on average, giving students more timely and actionable feedback
TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine Learning, the leading provider of digital-first PreK–12 solutions, today announced new findings on the impact of its AI-powered feedback capability in Imagine EdgeEX, the company's next-generation courseware platform for grades 9–12. Data from the 2024–25 school year show that educators using AI-powered feedback return assignments 28% faster on average than peers, reducing turnaround by nearly nine hours and ensuring students act on comments while their work is still fresh.
Launched for Back to School 2024, the capability reflects Imagine Learning's Curriculum-Informed AI™ philosophy — AI purpose-built for education, grounded in research, aligned to high-quality instructional materials, and designed to support, not replace, teacher expertise.
Rapid adoption across classrooms
Since launch, AI-powered feedback has been used more than 57,000 times in 272 schools and 185 districts, with adoption strongest in English language arts and expanding into social studies, science, and math. Seventy-five percent of all short-writing comments in Imagine EdgeEX now include AI input, with usage peaking during high grading periods such as August, January, and June.
Clear benefits for teachers and students
Teachers using AI-powered feedback average 23 hours to return assignments, compared to 32 hours for non-users, and 1 in 8 assignments receive feedback in just one hour. Educators report that faster turnaround not only saves them valuable time but also increases the likelihood of student learning gains.
Teachers are also using the tool to create richer, multi-dimensional feedback. In spring 2025, 58% of teachers used AI-powered feedback. Of those teachers, 61% incorporated multiple AI-suggested comments into their responses, with nearly 18,000 instances drawing on two or more suggestions and some using as many as eight. The tool acts as a professional thought partner, helping teachers enhance the depth of feedback while keeping full control over what is shared.
A responsible approach to AI in education
"When 75% of teachers choose to incorporate AI suggestions into their feedback, they're not being replaced, they're being empowered, said Jason Fournier, VP of AI Initiatives at Imagine Learning. "Nine hours saved per assignment cycle means feedback arrives while the learning moment is still alive. That's the difference between AI that disrupts and AI that delivers."
Building on this success, Imagine Learning expanded AI-powered feedback to rubric-based essays in May 2025 and plans to extend support across its curricula. Each innovation follows the same guiding principles: grounded in pedagogy, shaped by teacher voice, and focused on measurable student outcomes.
