Featured Feature: “Total Writing Time”
MY Access!® has so many tools for teachers and students.
This month, let’s take a look at “Total Writing Time," a relatively new addition to the system. This feature allows both students and teachers to know how much time was spent on each writing submission.
Students see Total Writing Time information every time they submit an essay for scoring and feedback. It is located at the top of the My Tutor Feedback page.
In this example, the student spent 1 minute and 12 seconds on this submission. Since this was the student’s second submission for this essay, this may represent time spent making corrections to grammar and mechanics.
Teachers can see how long students actually spend writing or revising a submission. The Total Writing Time appears on many of the MY Access! reports. In the example below, a Performance Summary report for each student in the roster is shown. The three right-hand columns show the date and time each submission was started and submitted as well as the total writing time. Teachers can use this information when advising students about revision goals and editing tasks.
