NoRedInk for Offloading Grammar Diagnostics, Instruction, and Practice
Abstract
This study investigated the use of NoRedInk, an online adaptive learning system focused on English grammar, by students in a first year writing. The extracurricular use of NoRedInk was seen as a way to address multiple challenges: class time, diagnostics, instruction, and practice. The questions this study addressed were: (1) how did students perceive the implementation of NoRedInk, and (2) did the use of NoRedInk correspond with a reduction of specific grammar errors in student writing. To answer these questions, data뾢nd of course survey, NoRedInk reports, and student writing pre-/post-intervention assessments뾵ere collected and analyzed. This presentation will detail the implementation of NoRedInk and the subsequent findings regarding student perceptions and performance.
