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.\”​

\”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.\”

Frequently Asked Questions

Educator FAQs


Student FAQs

How can Process Feedback be used in combination with chatbots such as ChatGPT in my classroom?

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.

Does Process Feedback discourage students to use AI tools like ChatGPT and BARD?

To do: Answer.

Is a student monitored while they are working on a task?

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.
