Uppdates to Feedback tool

At A+, we are always looking for ways to improve our platform and provide better tools for educators. That’s why we are thrilled to announce a major update to our analysis tools: live feedback directly in the student’s text! This new feature allows you to give immediate, visual feedback using color-coded marks that help guide both teachers and students in a more interactive and insightful way.

Real-Time Feedback Right in the Text

One of the most exciting aspects of this update is the ability to see feedback in real time as you review student work. No more switching between windows or tabs to view comments—now, feedback appears directly within the text itself. With live feedback, you’ll notice colored markings—green, yellow, and red—highlighting different areas of the student’s work.

How the Color-Coding Works

• Green: When you see green markings, it’s a sign that the student did something well! This could be a correct answer, a well-structured argument, or an excellent demonstration of understanding. The green feedback highlights strengths in the work, encouraging positive reinforcement.

• Yellow: Yellow indicates areas that are not necessarily wrong, but could use some improvement. It might mean the student missed a small detail or could elaborate more on a point. This type of feedback helps students identify opportunities to refine their work without feeling discouraged.

• Red: Red highlights areas where the student may have made a mistake or where improvement is needed. This could be incorrect information, a gap in understanding, or a clear error that needs addressing. It’s constructive and gives both the teacher and the student a clear path to improvement.

This color-coded system makes it easy to visually track the student’s strengths and areas for improvement without having to sift through pages of text. It simplifies feedback and makes the learning process more transparent.

Edit and Customize Feedback with Ease.

A+ also gives you the flexibility to customize the feedback provided by the platform. You can edit feedback in real time within the platform’s editor, making changes to comments, adjusting tone, or providing more detailed explanations based on your judgment. This means you can maintain the personal touch while leveraging the power of AI-driven analysis.

Once you’ve reviewed and customized the feedback, you can export the final version with your adjustments. This ensures that your feedback is both thorough and personalized, helping students understand not only what they need to improve, but how to do so.

Why This Matters for Teachers and Students.

For teachers, this update significantly speeds up the grading and feedback process. By seeing comments directly in the text, you can quickly assess a student’s work and provide clear, actionable feedback. The ability to adjust feedback on the fly ensures that your insights are relevant, personalized, and accurate.

For students, the real-time feedback provides immediate insight into their work. The color-coded system visually demonstrates what they've done well, where they can improve, and where they need to make changes. This encourages more engagement with the feedback, as it is easier to understand and act upon.

This update is another step toward making A+ a more powerful tool for teachers, streamlining the feedback process while ensuring it remains thoughtful, personalized, and effective. We hope this new feature enhances your experience with A+ and helps both you and your students succeed!
