Our combination of technologies helps teachers to speed up the process of annotating written assignments and of giving feedback on them and liberates them to apply their time where they add most value. Students also get richer feedback.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This first phase of the revolution will see teachers become more &lt;strong&gt;efficient&lt;/strong&gt; in their jobs by adopting &lt;strong&gt;web-based tools&lt;/strong&gt;. While teaching can be a very rewarding profession, it can also be &lt;strong&gt;grueling&lt;/strong&gt;. Teachers are asked to do things that take &lt;strong&gt;more hours than there are in a day&lt;/strong&gt;. Much of what they are being asked to do is &lt;strong&gt;clerical work that can be automated&lt;/strong&gt; away with good software tools. Ed tech startup companies are stepping in to supply this set of &lt;strong&gt;productivity&lt;/strong&gt; tools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joyrite zet beste beentje voor tijdens HET evenement voor educatieve startups in de VS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Op 12&amp;#160;en 13 juni 2012 presenteert het jonge Bredase bedrijf Joyrite haar online nakijkdienst voor docenten voor het eerst in de VS tijdens een toonaangevend evenement in Silicon Valley voor Educatieve Startups.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- more --&gt;Inmiddels is een eerste primitieve versie van de software klaar, zodat Joyrite meteen met een aantal docenten kan proefdraaien. Daarnaast zal het bedrijf in dezelfde week kennismaken met staatssecretaris Weekers tijdens een Dutch Business Breakfast in San Fransisco. Dit jonge innovatieve bedrijf was op woensdag 23 mei nog aanwezig bij een bijeenkomst voor ondernemers in de educatieve sector van Syntens Innovatiecentrum, nu staan ze zelf in Silicon Valley.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joyrite is eind 2010 opgericht door Jeroen Fransen samen met oud-Minister OCW Jo Ritzen en softwareontwikkelaar Isatis. Joyrite’s missie: docenten tijd besparen op correctiewerk zodat ze die weer kunnen inzetten waar ze het meeste waarde toevoegen in het onderwijs. Fransen vertelt: “Concreet hebben we een betaalde online dienst gebouwd die leraren ondersteunt bij het sneller en beter nakijken van stelopdrachten. In plaats van honderden uren per jaar te besteden aan correctiewerk, kunnen docenten dankzij hun hogere productiviteit meer aandacht besteden aan leerlingen. De leerlingen zelf hebben ook direct baat bij de rijkere feedback die ze ook nog eens sneller ontvangen.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joyrite vond bij Syntens Innovatiecentrum en het programma &lt;a href="http://www.livewire.nl/" title="" target="_blank"&gt;LiveWIRE&lt;/a&gt; de netwerkmogelijkheden die voor ondersteuning zorgden. Zelfs zeer recentelijk nog was Joyrite aanwezig op het evenement &amp;#8220;Innovatie in Educatie&amp;#8221; waar het bedrijf veel baat heeft gehad bij het aanwezige netwerk. Daarnaast is de rol van Syntens als sparringpartner waardevol. Dankzij de passie voor onderwijs, de rol die leraren hebben, een goed team en uithoudingsvermogen wordt juni een mooie maand voor Joyrite. Niet alleen internationaal maar ook in Nederland: een frisse, innovatieve en internationaal georiënteerde educatieve startup met potentieel voor hoogwaardige werkgelegenheid, en dat in deze barre tijden. Een sterke staaltje ondernemerschap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joyrite ontwikkelt haar oplossingen al vanaf het begin in nauwe samenwerking met haar enthousiaste onderwijspartners, waaronder OMO, Carmel en Tilburg University, zodat alles goed aansluit bij de werkelijke behoeften van docenten en leerlingen/studenten. Technisch is dit alles mogelijk dankzij een unieke combinatie van Natuurlijke-Taaltechnologie, Kunstmatige Intelligentie en een uitgekiende gebruikersinterface. &lt;a href="http://www.joyrite.com/" title="" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.joyrite.com"&gt;www.joyrite.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What he’s describing is almost exactly what we’re doing at Joyrite. We combine teachers’ strengths with those of algorithms and those of experts and crowds. I often – half-jokingly – refer to it as creating the bionic teacher.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What I advocate is a hybrid model to alleviate teachers’ work. In this model we make use of technology for the routine part, expert sourcing to offload work peaks to external assessors and crowdsourcing to use massive distribution. The actual teacher will be able to choose for each assignment in which aspects she/he wants to remain involved. How does that sound?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://en.joyrite.com/post/21646876245</link><guid>http://en.joyrite.com/post/21646876245</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:30:25 +0200</pubDate><dc:creator>jeroenjeremy</dc:creator></item><item><title>Moeten we daar niet wat aan doen?

"BBC: Is the Six-Million-Dollar Man possible?"</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-16632764"&gt;Why do I describe @Joyrite's as bionic? "BBC: Is the Six-Million-Dollar Man possible?"&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;So I’m fascinated by bionic technology. Big deal! Don’t you think the best technology is found in ideas intended to enhance people’s lives by taking away barriers and making them more aware or more productive?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Six Million Dollar man has been the icon I’ve been using for a while now when I’m asked to explain what Joyrite does.  Especially investors tend to ask startups to define themselves in terms of another company or product. MaxClass might say they are the Facebook for schools, for example. But Joyrite isn’t reduced as easily, so I chose to explain us as a bionic eye (find the issues) and arm (write the comments) for teachers in their work to mark essays. Apart from the eye and arm, I also want to show that Joyrite is not about replacing teachers but about helping them help students.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any better ideas to describe us? Let me know in the comments.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://en.joyrite.com/post/19174645334</link><guid>http://en.joyrite.com/post/19174645334</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:07:45 +0100</pubDate><dc:creator>jeroenjeremy</dc:creator></item><item><title>Now With 1.5M Lessons, ShowMe Launches v2.0 To Bring Khan Academy To The Masses | TechCrunch</title><description>&lt;a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/08/showme-version-two/"&gt;Now With 1.5M Lessons, ShowMe Launches v2.0 To Bring Khan Academy To The Masses | TechCrunch&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;With all due respect for Khan, ShowMe is probably a stronger concept for the future.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;In this article the initial angle is that essays are the best way to see whether a student understands a subject. I would call this content evaluation. What most automatic essay scoring services do, however, is help teachers to evaluate students’ writing skills, an important skill by itself. Let’s not confuse the two.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://en.joyrite.com/post/17610243012</link><guid>http://en.joyrite.com/post/17610243012</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:25:50 +0100</pubDate><dc:creator>jeroenjeremy</dc:creator></item><item><title>European Commission publishes 2012 report on education. </title><description>&lt;a href="http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/education/eurydice/documents/key_data_series/134EN.pdf"&gt;European Commission publishes 2012 report on education. &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;Link to the actual report, which also documents teacher shortages in the Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey, Germany and the UK. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://en.joyrite.com/post/17372772639</link><guid>http://en.joyrite.com/post/17372772639</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:15:16 +0100</pubDate><dc:creator>jeroenjeremy</dc:creator></item><item><title>EU verwacht lerarentekort in Nederland | nu.nl</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.nu.nl/economie/2737745/eu-verwacht-lerarentekort-in-nederland.html"&gt;EU verwacht lerarentekort in Nederland | nu.nl&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;@Joyrite zegt: daar doen we wat aan!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;De Europese Commissie ziet dat er een lerarentekort is in een aantal landen, waaronder Nederland, Duitsland, Turkije en België.

&lt;p&gt;A couple of items from the world of writing and assessment have been niggling at me of late.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First, news that the Hewlett Foundation is sponsoring &lt;a href="http://www.hewlett.org/newsroom/press-release/hewlett-foundation-sponsors-prize-improve-automated-scoring-student-essays" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;a $100,000 competition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to create automated essay scoring software that, in theory at least, will do as good or better job of assessing student…&lt;/p&gt;

He’s extremely optimistic in this piece on how technology will partially take over from teachers (although he gives teachers a role for socialisation of students).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I agree with his enthusiasm for improvement but I think he should have talked to more teachers for knowledge on content. I also think we could get more results in the near future by focusing first on teacher-assisting technologies. In the process we’ll learn so much that we’ll be able to create more complete standalone solutions.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://en.joyrite.com/post/15905755954</link><guid>http://en.joyrite.com/post/15905755954</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:36:23 +0100</pubDate><dc:creator>jeroenjeremy</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
