The AI Writing Workshop is an essay revision tool that provides students with immediate feedback and direct access to live teacher comments, helping them improve steadily with each revision as they prepare for their final draft.

    Important notes about uploading work:

Providing Feedback as The Teacher

First, open the grading screen (Home>Active Sessions>Activate).

The students are listed on the left and the feedback is to the right of each student. The darker blue indicates what revision the student is currently on. 

Note: The grade (on the left) won't appear until the final revision is graded.

   

Any finished Revisions have a checkmark next to them. Click Feedback to view the student response and you send a message directly to the student.

   

Teachers can only move the slider and edit the feedback for the final revision. When all the students are done, click End Session.
