The instructors and students who participated in our co-design process identified their biggest challenges in the writing course, and we set out to solve them with features that provide opportunities for drafting, peer review, source check, reflection, and revision. The result is a flexible, integrated suite of tools for designing and facilitating writing assignments, paired with actionable insights that make studentsʼ progress toward outcomes clear and measurable.
