We have served educators and students at several universities, colleges, and schools all around the world.
STUDENTS’ ULTIMATE TOOL FOR SELF-LEARNING

A free tool for students to acquire feedback on their process.

It’s similar to Google Docs or Online GDB but shows the edit history of a writing or coding journey for acquiring feedback. With Process Feedback, students become aware of their writing, coding, or  thinking process and develop higher-order thinking skills.

Explore your writing or coding process.

EMPOWERING EDUCATORS TO FULLY ENGAGE STUDENTS

Nurture student thinking with a deep insight into their process.

With Process Feedback, educators can assess not just the student-submitted writing or code but also the effort and process behind the work.

Integrate Process Feedback in your course in just a few minutes.

Workshops for Educators

In our hands-on webinars, we introduce you to Process Feedback and discuss how it empowers educators to gain deep insights into their students’ writing or coding processes, ultimately fostering more effective teaching and personalized learning experiences. Participants will:

  • 💡 Learn to teach writing or coding in an innovative and engaging way,
  • 📊 Discover how to gain insights into students’ writing or computer programming processes, and
  • 🔍 See how having access to student effort can make grading exciting and effective.

Process Feedback for Google Docs

In case you did not know, Google Docs also automatically records your writing history. With Process Feedback, you can also visualize your writing process and see your effort behind any of your documents in Google Docs. 

We have served 5000+ student assignments at several universities, colleges, and schools.

What educators, students, and TAs say about Process Feedback

5/5
“I have already started sharing this idea… I think analysis of these and the data you are producing that you were exhibiting there can be a very, very important gateway into the process of, the cognitive process of writing, how the brain actually works, where are the breaks, where are the pauses, where is the continuity. I see a lot of potential in this work.”
Dr. Mahesh Paudel
Assistant Professor, Department of English,
Tribhuvan University
5/5
"The Process Feedback website is an innovative tool that captures unique dimensions of a writer’s process. Because writing is a multidimensional process, it is complex to teach. But, we know that feedback is crucial to helping people grow as writers. Process Feedback holds a lot of promise as a teaching and learning tool for writing."
Dr. Shea Kirkhoff
Associate Professor,
Department of Literacy and Secondary Education,
University of Missouri-St. Louis
5/5
"Many students do well in assignments but not in exams. In my view, being able to see students' patterns in their submissions with visualizations such as typing speed, can provide us with evidence to know if the student used additional resources. I tried the tool in my class and found it to be insightful."
Travis Menghini
Computer Science Teacher,
Mary Institute and Saint Louis Country Day School
5/5
"Educators, particularly those teaching online, want to confirm that the right person is doing (first), the right work (second), and the right way (third). Process Feedback can help educators with the last two."
Manu Bhandari
Associate Professor,
Department of Communication,
Arkansas State University

Some Frequently Asked Questions

Regardless of whether or not an educator allows students to use chatbots, they are usually interested in the student’s process/effort. Even when students are allowed to use chatbots, Process Feedback captures the work done by the student other than the text/code provided by chatbots. For instance, in an assignment where an educator requires students to use chatbots for an initial draft, Process Feedback can display the effort in revising the draft.

No. Students are not monitored while they are working on a task. In fact, there is almost no sever side communication in the web application while a student is doing their work (except when executing code). Please read more in the “Learners Are Not Monitored or Controlled during Their Creative Process” section of the journal article published in Education Sciences. An educator can see a student’s submission only when the student chooses to “submit” the task to the educator.

Process Feedback is free for educators and students. Thank you.
