AI Writing Workshop

Students get immediate feedback in a write-and-revise process similar to peer-review, but with privacy and immediate feedback calibrated to the state rubric you select. It also supports multiple languages, teacher progress view, and private messaging. 

To start an AI Writing Workshop assignment, go to Lessons/Assessments > Create New > AI Writing Workshop, where you’ll enter the prompt, set the number of revisions, and choose a rubric and standard(s). Then activate it and watch students improve with helpful, instant feedback!

 

New District and Campus Progress Tracker

District and campus admins now have a campus-wide and district-wide global progress tracker tool, which will let you see what you want to see by grade, subject, assessment type, etc. No setup required, no manual selection of assessments. Your standards progress tracking data is ready to explore NOW.  

Admins can find this new tracker view by going to Reports > Trackers.

Student Portal Update: New Four-Function Calculator

Among the student tools that can be enabled for students to utilize during assessments is a new 4-function calculator that can be enabled optionally.

New "Equation" Question Type

By request, we’ve added a new question type for which students answer by writing a basic equation. You’ll find this new question type in the Assessment Author under Insert > Equation. 

Text to Speech Optional for Passages

By popular request, districts can now disable the Text to Speech audio accommodation from reading passages. Students with the IEP 505 demographic tag in ALL In Learning will still have the text to speech accommodation but passages would be excluded. Contact techsupport@alinlearning.com about this change.
