While anti-cheating and proctoring tools exist to combat academic misconduct and promote academic honesty, their focus on outcomes makes it challenging for teachers to pinpoint students' areas of struggle. Moreover, such tools typically detect issues only after they have occurred. In contrast, a preemptive approach could involve assessing students’ work processes and not just the products they submit. Such an assessment of the underlying working process can not only positively influence the learning behavior but can also drive student engagement. Process-oriented feedback, in general, enables students to self-identify their habits, strengths, and weaknesses. Similarly, the ability to see students' working processes can also help teachers close the gap between actual and desired learning outcomes. Assessing students’ work processes—such as total time on task, paste counts, typing speed, and revision time— assists with ensuring transparency and promoting academic responsibility. Numerous new tools have been developed to guide students on their academic journey and encourage self-reflection. One such tool, Gdoc Process Feedback, provides an infographic report that assesses students’ learning during and after writing in any Google Document. Such a process report offers students opportunities for exploration of their working habits. Using the Gdoc Process Feedback Google Chrome extension as an example, this session will demonstrate how an interactive writing process report can facilitate students’ self-reflection on their learning process and help them gain valuable feedback from teachers. Overall, the session discusses how teachers and institutions can encourage students to achieve excellence, not just in the outcome, but also in the process.
