Natural language processing (NLP) methods continue to be a driving force behind the success of applications serving the education community. The most widely-known application is automated essay scoring which is used in assessment and instructional settings. In this talk, design considerations that are critical to the development of educational applications will be discussed. Specifically, NLP researchers need to consider the core aspects of the educational infrastructure: curriculum and assessment development, curriculum delivery, and outcomes reporting. Researchers also need to be aware of current pedagogical influences as they develop of educational applications. Three specific applications developed at ETS will be described and discussed in the context of its use in the educational infrastructure: e-rater, c-rater, and Language Muse.
