Eli’s analytics gave me a chance to make real time changes to my pedagogy, and the class could see why I was making those changes.

Casey McArdle (@crmcardle), Michigan State University

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 was able to chart engagement and direct my attention to students who weren’t engaged to help them through whatever roadblock was in their way.

Lisa Schanhals (@lschanhals), Spring Lake High School

Being able to do more than just write comments in the margins and do different things with feedback, these basic writers are writing more and, I think, they’re thinking about writing in some different ways.

Lynn Reid, Fairleigh Dickinson University

I build Eli Review into the logic of the assignment sequences so that giving feedback and using it to revise becomes second nature.
