Abstract
Higher education is currently challenged to respond to a massive interest in learning with a current model that shows increasing evidence of too much cost, effort and decreasing efficacy of the operational learning process. Artificial intelligence has gained presence as a solution, but the integration process is already reporting problems and will not be implemented easily, in particular for universities with low degree of automation integrated to their systems. Universities need to quickly adapt and develop organizational and individual competencies, and clarity about the elements for new learning evaluation systems. This work contributes to propose a model to help universities to define these new systems making the most of artificial intelligence tools for academic essays scoring.
