Revisely release notes 2.7.0

14 diciembre 2016

We released a new version of Revisely today with some big updates. Check your mail for more details.

Added:

  • Team hand-in: allowing students to hand in documents together as a team. Teacher’s feedback on one text will reflect back on all team members.
  • Peer grading: students are now able to give feedback on each other’s essays, papers and other texts

Improved:

  • User interface: the assignment list has been revamped completely to offer a better overview and more functionalities where they’re needed; we added a separate list where you see all students connected to one assignment; this is where you can now monitor and manage hand-ins, plagiarism checking and results.
  • Translations: completed translations to Dutch and Spanish
  • Lots of server-side improvements: you will only notice the improved speed

Revisely and Ingegno team up to introduce Revisely’s online correction tool in India

17 noviembre 2016

Ingegno and Revisely announced a partnership to introduce schools in India to online text correction where students receive better feedback without extra work for the teacher.

Ingegno has shown a lot of experience in, amongst others, the content domain of learning technologies. They developed India’s first educational portal  and Identity Access Management System (IAM) named “India Grid for Learning” (IGfL). The IGfL allows educational institutions to access the appropriate high-qualitative educational technology providers through one simple application. At the same time the IGfL application provides Revisely the opportunity to come on board and access the education market in India.

Moving to India is an important step for Revisely. India has a big population of students for what we think this number is only set to grow. The Indian government are therefore embracing technological learning as a way to face the challenge of rapidly educating the working-class populations as they move from industrial towards a skill-based economy. Therefore, the idea that the Indian government, Ingegno and Revisely all embrace is that technology will change education for better.

Revisely met some very important guests at the Frankfurter Buchmesse!

3 noviembre 2016

‘This is what we share.‘ This was the slogan used by Flanders and the Netherlands who were the guests of honour at the biggest book fair in the world, the Frankfurter Buchmesse. A great opportunity for Revisely and other start-ups to promote innovative Dutch education technologies at home and abroad.

 

The Frankfurter Buchmesse was held from 19 to 23 October 2016. Besides being the biggest book fair, it is also the most important international platform for educative media. King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and King Filip of Belgium opened the Dutch-Flemish pavilion. Revisely was present at the pavilion together with the ‘Dutch School’ consisting of 10 different start-ups.  Later that week, Jet Bussemaker, the Dutch minister of Education, Culture and Science, visited our stand where we explained her Revisely’s correction tool.

The five-day event drew more than 275.000 visitors. It was a successful event and great experience for Revisely’s team! Therefore, we hope to see Revisely soon in more and more countries. Will be continued!
