Eli provides analytic data that I can use to track progress with writing for each student. I can follow and track students as a reviewer and writer, and it’s all in the same place.

Dawn Reed (@dawnreed), Okemos High School

I truly believe that, if Eli is used well, anyone can grow as a writer.

Marohang Limbu (@marohang), Michigan State University

In learning how to give effective, useful feedback, students do substantive, fundamental learning about writing that will make them better writers.

Bob Yagelski (@@ryagelski), SUNY-Albany

Two weeks into my course I had to completely revamp my weekly plan once I realized what Eli Review was capable of. Be willing to let go and dive in.

John Holland (@hollandsf), San Francisco State University

Eli helped me guide students into meaningful practice. They took more ownership of the content and their own skill development.
