We at GatherEducation agree that student engagement is the missing link in MOOCs right now and advocate a blended learning model that allows teachers to incorporate online learning into their classrooms without having to alter their teaching style.

In the vein of Orwell, this post reminded my of an article I came across, Is there an ethics of algorithms?. It talked about the subjective nature of programmers defining the reading of electronic scans of people for possible cancers. Literally there are shades of gray. So I instantly worry about the notions of an algorithmically examined essay. The programmers building tools to evaluate the essay likely define a set of metrics which makes for good writing based on others' writing as you suggested. But what makes good writing is really not so easily defined. Trusting an 'expert's' analysis of good writing is where my hackles go up and I feel the robotics being inserted in the back of my head.
