EdTech Review has recently announced the launch of OpenAI-powered integrations within HMH’s Writable, their award-winning writing practice and assessment solution. These new capabilities are designed to boost teacher effectiveness by engaging more students with tailored feedback and encouraging better writing.
At HMH, they believe technology should be applied to deepen the human connections that accelerate learning outcomes. Jack Lynch, CEO of HMH, stated that this advancement represents a thoughtful step forward in the transformative journey of using generative AI to improve student learning and give teachers more time to foster relationships with their students.
Writable’s AI-suggested comments, which are also available in Spanish, provide ongoing, rubric-aligned commentary to students throughout the drafting process. From grammar to genre-based skills and more, teachers are able to review and modify feedback before it is sent to students, offering targeted ways to strengthen their writing and creating more meaningful revisions.
Early adopters of Writable’s AI-powered tools have reported significant time-saving benefits that extend their capacity as teachers.
Andrew Goldman, CEO of Writable, stated that their new generative AI tools make grading 80% faster and open a world of instructional possibility. Teachers can regularly give assignments that ask students to think and communicate, and the generative AI helps provide feedback and accountability without overwhelming the teacher with a mountain of writing that needs review.
HMH takes a human-centred approach to advanced technology like generative AI, enabling and extending teachers’ valuable work, blending the best of technology with the best classroom experience. AI services are constantly improved, and HMH provides continuing professional development support and refines feedback to assist educators in effectively and purposefully using AI tools in their classrooms.
Writable, part of HMH’s suite of connected solutions, offers reading and writing instruction with relevant, personalized practice opportunities to grow all learners. This program benefits over 16,000 schools and districts’ students and is trusted as it anonymizes any writing submitted to OpenAI, allowing districts to customize which features of the AI are accessible to teachers.
Teachers are sure to benefit from Writable’s OpenAI-powered integrations, which will help them save time and give their students tailored feedback. With this teacher-guided approach to AI, teachers can incorporate feedback and grades the AI recommends into their lessons, allowing them to spend more time connecting with their students on a human level.
