WriterKEY

Writing feedback application linking students to additional writing resources

Overview

WriterKEY is an online feedback and assessment tool for students and teachers. Students complete writing assignments within the app and teachers use the feedback icons to provide students with comments, questions, and rubric assessments. It is available for purchase at single teacher user and school license rates.

APPROACH

Both teachers and students begin using WriterKEY by downloading the app from their web browser and following prompts to create an account. Once logged in, students type in all writing assignments directly into the textbox and submit it for teacher review and feedback.

To view student work, teachers select the appropriate response tools from their feedback menu to provide students with written and voice comments, highlight work, and give rubric-based assessment feedback. Teachers select the ‘Data Center’ dashboard from their profile to view reporting graphics of student work and performance on content skills and WriterKEY-provided rubrics.
