Why should I use Revisely?
Revisely offers students a comprehensible way of insight in whether their assignment meets requirements and in which areas they still need to improve. In the case of intermediate feedback, this insight can be used to adjust assignments. Revisely also supports you, as a teacher, with the workflow regarding writing assignments: using paper will not be necessary, as well as separate mail flows.

How does it work?
The programme runs online; it doesn’t need installation and it’s usable on tablets, iPads, desktops, and laptops. Students’ assignments can be placed in Revisely, including the requirements and due date. Students work on the assignments and hand them in through Revisely’s digital environment. Subsequently, the assignments are graded and feedback can be added: standard comments from the database or personal feedback. After grading the assignment, it can be send back to the student from Revisely. The student will receive an e-mail telling him or her that the assignment has been graded and can be accessed. It is also possible to use Revisely for the handing in of group assignments (team hand-in function) or for letting students provide feedback on each other’s work by using the option of peer grading. With peer grading, students provide feedback on the writing assignments of their peer students and score each other.

Is there a direct connection to Blackboard?
No, Revisely does not work in connection to Blackboard.

How do students gain access to Revisely?
As a teacher, firstly you add the list of students to Revisely. Then students can log-in to Revisely using their Solis-Id and their password.

Is there an alternative to Revisely?
An alternative tool in Blackboard is Annotate. For more information check https://blackboard-support.uu.nl/en/handleidingen/annotation-in-blackboard/
