AI in Savvy Writer needs to be able to identify when a student actually used a different AI platform to write the essay.
AI in Savvy Writer doesn't explain to students how to correct their mistakes. It only informs students that there are mistakes. Highlighting the mistake with explanation of how to correct it would be greatly appreciated.
I wanted to share some feedback about myPerspectives that has been a real challenge in our classrooms. Right now there’s no way for teachers to unsubmit work (NOT assessments) back to students once it’s been turned in. This makes it hard for students to go back, fix mistakes, and resubmit, which is such an important part of the learning process.
Here’s why this really needs to be fixed:
Students need the chance to revise and show growth. Without that option, they miss out on meaningful practice.
For students with IEPs and 504s, being able to make multiple attempts is often part of their accommodations, and the system doesn’t support that right now.
Teachers should be able to return work when it’s incomplete, off track, or even blank. As it stands, the only workaround is creating a brand new assignment, which just creates extra confusion.
Other platforms, like Google Classroom, already have this feature, and it makes grading and feedback a lot more effective.
Having the option to unsubmit would make myPerspectives much easier to use and, more importantly, would better support students. I really hope this is something that can be added soon.Thank you for listening to teacher feedback.
This has been an asked for feature since 2016 when I started working in Realize for myPerspectives as an EC. At the time we were told that this was an enhancement that would be done in the future...so our long time users have an expectation that this update will happen. We have been using some form of work around since 2016-17 and telling teachers that we understand their needs and and that an update was on the roadmap. IF we want teachers to use Realize then they need to have the flexibility just like they do with paper pencil assignments to redo and reassign.
For those interested, here are some notable items for this feature request.
This can be done today by teachers only for assessments only.
Return Assigned Assessments and Allow Students to Resubmit
For non-assessments, here is the current teacher 2-step process/workaround without creating a new assignment.
Delete an Assignment for a [single] Student
Edit Assignments and add a student [back] to the assignment
When we give students assignments, we allow for 2 attempts before it is graded in Canvas. Sometimes students submit the incorrect assignments or they don't finish it completely and realize that later. It would be extremely beneficial for us to have the option of giving them 2 submission attempts up front before the assignment is even opened, just incase a mistake is made. I do not want to have to go back in and create a new assignment for a student who needs to fix something each time. I think that would be a nightmare! :o)
This feature is critical in our pilot heavy market.
As a teacher, a resubmit option is extremely helpful! It allows students to redo an assignment to gain better understanding of the material they missed. If a student can't resubmit on the platform, it requires more work for the teacher. Having an unsubmit/resubmit option on all assignments is extremely important across all subject areas and grade levels!
This is one of the most asked for features from pilot teachers.
It has been confusing for teachers to have the ability to return an assessment but not other assignments. This should be a priority to make this function equitable across all assignments. It is one of the most asked for features from pilot teachers.
This feature is often requested by teachers. It is especially important for pilot opportunities where we want teachers to have a positive experience using Realize. Pilot teachers and students have limited experience with the Realize platform, and students make errors or click submit by mistake. It would eliminate teacher frustration to be able to simply return the assignment back to the student.
As a Curriculum Specialist in a pilot-heavy market, I have received questions from teachers regarding this issue. Allowing unsubmit and resubmit options would be especially helpful for teachers with populations of student with IEPs and 504 plans.
We appreciate you taking the time to submit your valuable idea to the Realize development team. Your input is important to us, and we are considering it as a potential future enhancement to the Realize platform.
Your voice matters, and we encourage you to continue voting and sharing your thoughts with colleagues. This will help us identify which ideas are the most impactful for our users. Thank you again for contributing to the improvement of Savvas Realize.
This has happened to me many times and I have had to go completely re-assign another path for the kiddo. This would be so much easier.
