What's Inside
One assessment, start to finish.
Building, grading, and handing back one assessment can take all evening. TypeWriter does all of it in one place, so you get your time back.
Assessment Builder
Build an assessment exactly how you want to give it.
- Essays with source documents and images
- Multiple choice, written response, or both in one assessment
- A reading or PDF with questions attached
- Short-answer questions, auto-graded against saved answers
- Standard points or proficiency rubrics, saved once and reused
- Start from an assessment another teacher shared
- Bring your own AI: paste what it wrote, import it as a draft
Test Environment
A room you control, on the Chromebooks you already have, with clean printable versions
- Fullscreen, with leaving the test on the record
- A different question and answer order for every student
- Secure tests with a PIN students enter in the room
- Extended time options, saved to the student
- Proctor: view who has started, is working, or has finished
- Scrambled paper versions with answer keys and bubble sheets
Grading
Responses and your rubric on one screen, with inline comments
- The response on the left, your rubric on the right
- A note on every criterion, not just a number
- Inline comments, right on the sentence they're about
- Translate to your gradebook score, export to csv
- Trends by class and question, highlights areas for growth
Feedback & Corrections
Most tools stop with grading. Here students act on the feedback.
- Release feedback within TypeWriter: everything, or only what they missed
- A printable feedback sheet per student, or one packet for the class
- Students can go back into their own writing, with your comments on it
- Re-grade the revision with the changes highlighted, and credit back as much as you choose
Managed Chromebook Kiosk Mode
A browser can only deter. TypeWriter enforces fullscreen and records when a student leaves the test, but a student who wants out can get out. A managed Chromebook makes it a lock: with IT approval, TypeWriter can run as a kiosk app, so the device does the assessment and nothing else. Nothing to install, and one entry in the school's Google Admin console. See how test security works →
