“Learning the craft of writing can be challenging for students, especially now in an age of text messaging. Becoming a strong writer takes practice, and yet students are often not naturally  inclined to revise their work,” said Bethlam Forsa, CEO of Savvas Learning Company. “That is why we have teamed up with Turnitin. Students using myPerspectives can now be inspired to revise their work, with state-of-the-art machine learning technology that makes the revising and editing process much more engaging and instructive.”

Turnitin’s Revision Assistant uses artificial intelligence to analyze student writing and quickly identify students’ strengths and struggles. It motivates students to continually revise their compositions by providing them detailed, holistic and sentence-level comments. It also provides colorful, easy-to-understand icons, representing the four key areas of “Clarity, “Development,” “Organization,” and “Language,” to gauge how well students convey their ideas.

Revision Assistant is integrated directly into Savvas Realize, one of the edtech industry’s most versatile learning management systems, to enable a seamless experience with content and online writing tools, as well as simplified single sign-on access.

Revision Assistant doesn’t just empower students, it also empowers teachers by saving them time so they can focus on instruction and easily grade student writing. With myPerspectives, teachers can view their students’ submitted work and drafts in the Revision Assistant dashboard, provide feedback, and grade the work. Detailed reports provide in-depth, real-time data on students’ writing skills, offering insights to inform differentiated instruction and track and measure their growth as they become stronger writers.
