Revisely Integrates GPTZero to Detect AI-Generated Text in Student Documents

14 abril 2023

Revisely, a leading grading and feedback platform for teachers and professors, has announced the integration of GPTZero, a new tool designed to detect AI-generated text in student documents. This integration will aid in maintaining academic integrity and preventing plagiarism.

The CEO of Revisely, Jeroen Fransen, highlighted the challenge that teachers face in not being able to differentiate between text written by students and AI models. “With the integration of GPTZero, we are providing our users with an essential tool that will help them identify and take appropriate action in cases where AI-generated text is detected,” Fransen added.

GPTZero is an advanced AI language tool that can identify text generated by other AI models, such as #ChatGPT. When a teacher or lecturer receives a student’s document for grading, the GPTZero tool within Revisely can scan the document for AI-generated text. If any such text is detected, it will be highlighted and labeled for the teacher’s review.GPTZero Revisely detector

This integration with GPTZero is a significant step in maintaining academic integrity while providing valuable insights to its users. By integrating GPTZero, Revisely is also continuing its mission of providing educators with efficient solutions that maintain academic integrity while helping students receive the feedback they need to succeed.

New features added to Revisely!

10 febrero 2021

We continue to work hard to further improve your user experience in Revisely! We have added a few new features in the application. Here is a brief overview:

      • Overview of progress
        In order to give you a clear picture of the progress of the assignment, we have added a progress bar to the Assignments page within Revisely. Go to an assignment you created in the Assignments page and see the percentage of completion for each phase.

        • Better management of added/deleted students
          If you also have the rights to see the ‘administration pages’ in Revisely, you can find some new changes here as well. It is now easier to see which students are active in Revisely as it demonstrates an icon of a green thumb after their name. You can also easily edit and/or delete an account. The icon of the key allows you to easily send the login data of the respective student.

    • Option to submit documents of different types of files possible again
      If, when creating a new assignment, the option is selected to have your students upload their document (instead of typing it into Revisely), they can upload many other types of files besides only PDF files. These can be, for example, Word, PowerPoint, Excel or HTML files. Please note that uploading a PDF file will give the best result. With other files, there is a possibility that the layout will look different from what the student had in mind. We recommend that students always double check the file in Revisely when the upload of a file is completed.
  • Mail confirming download of student data or assignment is completed
    When you want to download data from Revisely, you no longer have to wait on the page for the download to be completed. In the meantime, you can continue, for example, with the correction of assignments and you will receive an e-mail as soon as the download is completed.

NVIDIA inception program Revisely

Artificial intelligence in education?

23 noviembre 2018

While teachers may always aim to help students who are falling behind, busy schedules don’t always permit the extra attention and the feedback students need. It is Revisely’s mission to solve this problem. We want to stay up-to-date on all new technological developments including artificial intelligence. Therefore, Revisely became a member of the Nvidia Inception Program!

Revisely has joined the NVIDIA Inception program. This is a virtual accelerator program that is designed to nurture startups revolutionizing industries through advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data sciences. Revisely will benefit from the ongoing support of the program as it continues to develop our product. Every Inception member gets a custom set of benefits, from hardware grants to training with deep learning experts.

Why Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education? 
Increasingly, we start to see the possibilities of AI in education. Some of the roles AI can play in the classroom could be for example as a tool to have a completely automatic grading process, as a chatbot to communicate with students or to let the teacher know when material needs to be retaught. Understandably, there is still some hesitation at the idea of using this technology, as many education professionals fear the day robots will replace teachers. We do not believe teachers can ever be replaced. However, AI will reshape the way teachers teach and students learn and both bring them to new heights!

New release: Revisely has been strengthened with several new features such as saving and reusing personal comments!

12 julio 2018

Revisely, the online application for teachers to help provide better and faster feedback on students’ texts, has been further improved in version 2.8. with, among others, features to save open observations and easily re-use them when correcting other students’ texts. The new version will be online from July 16th!

 

Revisely, July 12th 2018 – Revisely has been further improved with its latest release, Revisely 2.8. The digital correction application supports teachers in correcting assignments and giving extensive feedback. In the past year, the number of users of Revisely has grown exponantionally. Around the 575 schools and universities now use Revisely. This means that Revisely currently has 196,023 users! Revisely has optimized various system processes and added new features to provide an even better service to teachers correcting assignments and helping to further develop students’ skills. The main new updates in the new release are:

Create your own re-usable observations from open text comments

You can now make your own ‘open text’ comments re-usable as either critical or positive observations. This means you can save your comments in a personal database. You no longer have to retype your own favourite comments but can create them once and just attach them to the text again and again.
                                                                            .
Use multiple sets of observations at the same time
Before, you could only choose one set of observations, when creating the assignment. This meant that you chose the language of the texts to be handed in as well as the language and level of the observation content. Starting this release you still choose the main set of observations when you create the assignment (this still determines the evaluation criteria that are in the score summary) but you can now use other and multiple sets of and observations while correcting. In addition, there are many newly built-in observations to provide feedback on the writing skills of students.
                                                                   .
Other new functionalities and improvements are: 
  • Hand in Word, OpenOffice, and HTML documents
  • Different look for texts typed in Revisely
  • Observation/comment menu in one
  • More criteria
  • Use multiple observation sets at the same time
  • Possibility to use customized school criteria in the assignment
  • Observation set for writing skills especially for Utrecht University
  • Copying bits of text
  • Context-sensitive menu
  • Multiple correctors at the same time
  • Logging
  • Guided tour
  • Fancy formatting

The first reactions from users of Revisely 2.8 are very positive. Previous versions of Revisely already supported teachers in correcting assignments but with this new version, it is even easier and faster to correct your students’ texts.

The adventure of the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai!

23 marzo 2018

Revisely, the online tool that helps teachers to give better feedback on texts to students, was one of the 50 start-ups selected for the EdTech competition ‘Tomorrow’ in Dubai. The event was organised by The Varkey Foundation and held at the renowned Global Education and Skills Forum 2018. Read more about our experiences in this blog!


We were truly amazed when we arrived at the Global Education and Skills Forum. What a jaw-dropping location! Moreover, we immediately felt honoured to be part of this important event which discusses and ultimately shapes education globally.

During the event, many discussions took place on how to prepare young people for the world of 2030 and beyond, what the common knowledge base for education will be like, and how this knowledge relates to core values such as participation, sustainability, responsibility and creativity.

 

Already on the first day of the GES Forum, we got to work by giving a pitch to the jury. We presented our idea for our new tool: Mundily. Looking at the global educational situation, we are convinced that the mature platform for feedback on texts of Revisely can also benefit those students who currently don’t have access to the same education as others. With Mundily, a non-commercial platform, we would like to create a ‘marketplace’ to match those students with teachers/correctors who in turn can help them improve their texts.

We only had five minutes to pitch, which was followed by a series of questions from the judges. Unfortunately, we did not win the Next Billion EdTech Prize 2018. However, we did receive a lot of positive feedback from the audience and got into great conversations with other EdTech entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers from all over the world. The GES Forum offered us many new insights in how to prepare young people for the future. Moreover, we are very excited to continue our plans for Mundily and increase the access to education for everybody!
