The Forge is a new web-based word processor and learning platform designed specifically for long-form student writing. Unlike AI detectors or plagiarism checkers, The Forge is not about “catching” students. Instead, it’s about understanding and supporting the writing process. Faculty can:
- Use analytics to foster conversations with students about their work habits, challenges, and growth as writers.
- Visualize student effort and engagement through graphs that track time on task, revision patterns, and writing process.
- Gain deeper insights into how students compose, revise, and persist in their assignments.
