From my experiences, moving to different classrooms and observing many teachers, the idea of getting the kids 'on side' has been rather influential. You have to get adolescents to buy ...

Academic Writing Analytics (AWA)

Posted on by admin
Students learn that critical, reflective writing must make their thinking visible. This is conveyed through particular linguistic forms. Can computers learn to identify these patterns, and feed them back to students to help improve their writing?
