Graphical diagrams are an important part of the educational process, as students draw diagrams in fields as various as business, math, computer science, engineering, music, and many others. Hand-sketched student diagrams aid in active learning and creative processes. However, correcting hand-sketch diagrams take a significant amount of teacher time, and are thus often left out of the testing process. Automatically correcting these diagrams can provide immediate student and instructor feedback while significantly reducing instructor time. This workshop will introduce the audience to sketch recognition tools that are available for use in their classroom for active learning, immediate feedback, and automated assessment.
