MyWritingAssessment is an AI-powered writing placement and program assessment platform built for higher education. It solves two problems that English departments and assessment offices face: placing incoming students into the right writing course, and measuring student learning outcomes for accreditation — without burying faculty in manual essay scoring.
Most colleges still place students using multiple-choice tests like Accuplacer or self-reported measures like high school GPA — neither of which actually measures writing ability. For program assessment, faculty committees spend days manually scoring stacks of essays against rubrics, often rushing to meet accreditation deadlines. MyWritingAssessment replaces both approaches with AI-powered essay analysis that's calibrated to your institution's specific standards, with faculty always in control of final decisions.
Place incoming students into developmental, college-level, or advanced writing courses based on a proctored writing sample — not a multiple-choice test. Students complete a timed essay in a proctored environment with built-in integrity monitoring that detects AI-generated content, paste attempts, and suspicious typing patterns. The AI scores their essay against your custom rubric and recommends a placement level. Faculty review recommendations, check confidence scores, examine integrity flags, and finalize placements — with full override capability. Every override is tracked with reasoning for audit purposes.
Measure student achievement against learning outcomes at scale and generate evidence for SACSCOC, HLC, AACSB, ABET, and other accreditation bodies. Map rubrics to learning outcomes. Upload existing student essays or collect new ones through the platform. The AI evaluates each essay against your outcome-based rubric. Track achievement across cohorts and over time. Generate accreditation-ready reports with outcome achievement rates, score distributions, trend analysis, and criterion breakdowns — formatted for your accreditor.
A smarter approach that keeps faculty in control. Step 1: Students write — essays collected via proctored assessment or uploaded from existing coursework. Step 2: AI analyzes — intelligent scoring against your rubric with detailed reasoning for every score. Step 3: Faculty review — validate, adjust, or override. You always have the final say. Step 4: Act on results — placement decisions, outcome tracking, accreditation reports, whatever you need. Most institutions are running assessments within a day of setup. See our full documentation for step-by-step guides.
Intelligent Analysis: Advanced language models evaluate organization, argument, evidence, mechanics, and more — with clear reasoning for every score, not just a number.
Integrity Protection: Detect AI-generated content, paste attempts, tab switches, and suspicious typing patterns. Built-in proctored mode tracks browser focus and behavioral signals. Faculty see integrity flags alongside each submission.
Faculty Control: AI recommends, faculty decide. Override capability for any recommendation, confidence indicators for every score, and full audit trails. The AI is a tool, not a replacement for faculty judgment.
Your Standards: Define custom rubrics and calibrate with sample essays from your institution. The AI learns what each placement level or outcome level looks like at your school — not some generic standard.
Learning Outcomes: Map rubric criteria directly to learning outcomes. Track achievement across cohorts and over time. Compare entry-level to exit-level students to demonstrate growth.
Actionable Reports: Dashboards for placement trends, outcome achievement, and integrity monitoring. Export for accreditors, boards, or internal review. Generate accreditation-ready reports in PDF or Word.
English Departments: Place incoming students based on actual writing ability instead of multiple-choice tests. Free faculty from manual placement essay scoring.
Assessment Offices: Collect learning outcome evidence at scale without burdening faculty committees with weeks of manual scoring.
Accreditation Teams: Generate reports that satisfy accreditors with real evidence of student achievement — outcome rates, trend data, criterion breakdowns.
Program Directors: Track program health over time. Identify outcomes where students struggle. Demonstrate the impact of curriculum changes.

Do I need to use both placement and outcomes? No — use what you need. Many start with one and add the other later. Same platform, same pricing either way.
How accurate is the AI scoring? When calibrated with your sample essays, we see high agreement with faculty scoring. Faculty always have override capability for any result.
How do you prevent cheating? We detect AI-generated content, paste attempts, and suspicious typing patterns. Proctored mode tracks browser focus and behavioral signals.
Does it integrate with our LMS? LTI integration with Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle is on our roadmap. Currently, students access assessments via simple access codes — no student account needed.
What accreditation reports can you generate? Outcome achievement by cohort, trend analysis over time, criterion-level breakdowns, and custom exports. Built for SACSCOC, HLC, AACSB, ABET, and other accreditors.
How long does setup take? Most institutions are running assessments within a day. Upload your rubric, add calibration essays, and you're ready. See our documentation for the full setup guide.
