WriteToLearn is a complete writing skills and reading comprehension
development tool. WriteToLearn combines the simplicity of Knowledge
Technologies' Summary Street® and the depth
of Knowledge Technologies' Intelligent Essay
Assessor™ into one Web-based product that allows educators
to evaluate and teach
both writing skills and reading comprehension. WriteToLearn is based
on the KAT™ engine, which uses a
proprietary application of the mathematical approach known as Latent
Semantic Analysis (LSA). The KAT engine is a unique automated
assessment technology for written language that evaluates the
meaning of text, not simply grammatical correctness,
spelling or other surface elements.
WriteToLearn provides at-a-glance reporting for students and
teachers about assignments and progress via easy-to-understand, visually
appealing tutorial feedback and status reports. Teachers have flexible
scoring options through adjustable passing thresholds and the ability
to hide one or more areas of scoring feedback so students can focus on
specific areas.
WriteToLearn also offers assignment flexibility thanks to a wide variety
of essay prompts and readings to be summarized (identified by subject
and grade level) with different scoring options for different classes.
From a single-screen visual scoreboard, teachers can view classes,
assignments and progress. And WriteToLearn provides easy drill down
to student score detail and writing portfolios.
