Automated Writing Feedback in AcaWriter

You might be familiar with my research in the field of Writing Analytics, particularly Automated Writing Feedback during my PhD and beyond. The work is based off an automated feedback tool called AcaWriter (previously called Automated Writing Analytics/ AWA) which we developed at the Connected Intelligence Centre, University of Technology Sydney.

Recently we have come up with resources to spread the word and introduce the tool to anyone who wants to learn more. First is an introductory blog post I wrote for the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) Nexus publication. You can access the full blog post here: https://www.solaresearch.org/2020/11/acawriter-designing-automated-feedback-on-writing-that-teachers-and-students-trust/

We also ran a 2 hour long workshop online as part of a LALN event to add more detail and resources for others to participate. Details are here: http://wa.utscic.edu.au/events/laln-2020-workshop/

Video recording from the event is available for replay:
