About this research opportunity
As AI tools for providing feedback on student writing become increasingly available, we invite a cohort of student researchers use and review different writing feedback tools in order to assess their alignment with evidence-based research on writing assessment. Our project co-researchers will be given access to four different digital feedback tools—Grammarly, TimelyGrader, EMI, and Topoi. Within each tool, the student researchers will submit a common set of writings for feedback from the AI tool. The researchers will gather the feedback provided then assess it in light of writing assessment scholarship from the fields of composition, writing program administration, and writing and rhetoric studies. In particular, the students will screen the tools to assess whether they adhere to well-established assessment practices and feedback guidance supported by writing assessment literature.
Any ASU Online student enrolled in a degree program offered by The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who has completed first year writing/composition courses.
