Version tracking and the Student Writing Journey

What's a destination without an understanding of the journey recount?

Key points

Good writing is a journey, not just a destination. Seeing how the text came to be is the most enlightening story in the end result.

Power to teachers

Seeing how a story or essay text came together is really important and many times too hard and time-consuming to track.

Fixing writing is a tough job so having instant access to the student journey is incredibly useful. Seeing the iterations of student thinking helps a coach build stronger journey skills.

Student Engagement

A writing destination is often where students want to arrive quickly. We suggest the destination today will be better tomorrow if some learning happens along the journey.

With a journey roadmap, thinking stays on track, the best bits float to the top and if they don't, they are always there to get back. Writing is a journey that Scribo helps to document.

Writing journey recorded

Scribo now tracks the journey of every student, from their first text to where they are now. Every revision is stored and can be restored. Everyone can see the advice that Scribo has given and the changes students have made along their writing journey. It's like a journal of writing, showing every suggestion offered by Scribo and accepted by the student, and all teacher comments with changes made by students.

History tracks all changes across the timeline

Where did we start and how did we get here? This is where the learning is recorded. Scribo tracks all types of system support offered and accepted like Grammar, Spelling, teacher and student comments, sentence rewrites, word changes and improvements.

It's so easy to track and see where students have been making changes and for what reason. Scribo also tracks the auto-grades progression, showing how students have self-improved their work.

Auto Score tracking

As students get Scribo auto scores along their writing timeline, Scribo stores the score history and the reasons why the scores were awarded. In history, students and teachers can track their editing improvements and see where more marks were awarded and why.

Version History

Revision history has been revamped as well. From the teacher or student menu in Scribo, click Versions.

Menu / Versions

Scribo creates multiple versions of text, all while edits take place.

Teachers can carousel through the journey students have taken, looking at where edits and improvements can be made.

Students can restore back to any point and move forwards. All feedback and comments are refreshed when versions are restored. Scribo makes all of this simple.

Choose one version and see the previous version side by side.
