Submission Analytics
Analytics
Effort is quantifiable. From our unique evaluation of effort (attributable activity [characters typed] divided by submitted text [characters submitted]) you can easily place students along the continuum of authentic writing vs assisted writing (to fit any AI guidelines).
Difference
Attributed activity is reconstructed using our proprietary methods to create a new way to look at student work: what was written vs what was submitted. Easy to understand color coding shows pasted or generated text so that you can have a better understanding of student thinking/writing vs what was entered by gen AI or pasted.
Playback
Watch or scroll through the writing process as it unfolded. Color coding and text reconstruction is available to provide new insights to how students moved through the phases of writing from planning to translating to revisions.
Analytics
In the AI-era text is just a click away which makes the process more valuable than ever. With Cursive, writers and reviewers (students and teachers) have new data about student effort, time, and writing skills for any & every submission. Analytics include our Authorship model output (customizable by administrators), time writing, edits, word counts, writing speed, and effort (the quotient of in-process writing activity [process] and the final submitted text as a percentage).

Difference
Paste information, comments from students, and a full text reconstruction compared to the submitted static text are provided in an easy to read format. The Difference tab pulls together the reconstructed text, student’s cite-source/paste comments, and highlights unattributed and pasted text (including generative AI).

Playback
By collecting information during the writing process, we can easily playback the writing process and bring written submissions to life. This provides both writers and reviewers new insights to the writing process as it occurred. Our playback feature (“(Re)cursive”) color-codes additions and deletions while tagging paste events by time stamp.
