Using WritingScoreCard to Promote Learning in English Composition 1301 [Asynchronous]

The assessment of writing in composition courses presents a myriad of challenges for many instructors. The logistics of managing the paper load can in itself be daunting and impede the timely and the meaningful feedback students need to develop incremental progress in their writing skills. Additionally, instructors experience the ongoing demand to assess writing in reliable and valid ways while engaging students in intentional reflections of their own writing. In essence, the myriad of challenges seem to evolve around: timely feedback; reliability and validity; and student engagement. To that end, researchers will introduce Writing Score Card (beta v1.1) as an online writing assessment tool that enables instructors to effectively and efficiently assess student writing in a meaningful way via timely feedback that also requires students to become active learners in their own writing process. Research findings from Writing Score Card’s use in a Composition class will also be shared.
