As someone who teaches others how to write, and how to write well, originality and integrity are essential qualities I encourage people to adopt. In my 1 to 3 day workshops and training, I offer the most relevant information together with useful tools to set students up to be good quality web writers and content marketers and to guide them through the correct online support on Social Media. This consultant type of teaching works perfectly for such a small group of students.<\/strong> But as I have recently been involved in conversations to become a guest lecturer at one local University, I started thinking that this kind of support wouldn’t be applicable in an academic environment, simply because it is not sustainable.<\/p>\n As I was trying to come up with ways on how to educate my future students to become original writers with integrity, I remembered that last year, I attended this teacher related conference (New technologies in Education<\/em><\/a>) in Belgrade, where I learned so much about how digital transformation is reshaping education. The interesting thing is that this transformation does not only occur worldwide but with small steps, it is reaching Serbia, too. Among some convenient examples, case studies and tools, I discovered this particular one which serves as a mentorship tool, both for teachers and students. An excellent example of digital transformation technology that improves student writing and helps teachers guide them through the whole process of learning.<\/strong> It sparked my imagination and got me thinking how useful it would have been if we had this technology back in the days when I was a student. In other words, to have a tool that teachers use to help me develop and polish my writing skills, guide me through every step and teach me with personalized feedback, within and outside of the classroom.<\/p>\n I spent a significant amount of time talking to people behind this technology, and they explained to me how it works in a very beneficial way. Basically, it supports teachers to minimize their grading time, while they check students work for originality to help them improve their writing skills. <\/strong>It also serves as a feedback and tutoring platform where students get direct input for their work. From a grammar and spelling to originality check, this tool provides comprehensive support on a much higher level.<\/p>\n I even got to test it on the spot and, instead of describing it to you, I found this example video to share:<\/p>\n
