Feedback you can trust
Smarthinking is designed to complement your existing academic support services, offering a scalable way for you to ensure that all your students can get reliable, round-the-clock help on their academic writing – either direct from your VLE or via an easily-accessible app.
Smarthinking tutors do not provide answers. They help students by providing detailed high-quality feedback on sections or full drafts of their written assignments. Alongside support on writing, tutors can also assist in a range of disciplines, helping the students to problem-solve their questions. Smarthinking tutors are available to help on CV and cover letter writing too.
Helping to extend the reach of your support
Faculty staff benefit from using Smarthinking as an extension of office hours to help with the demands on their time – enabling their attention to be focused on the areas that will make the greatest difference.
Staff also have visibility of every interaction between their students and Smarthinking tutors through the live dashboard, including all archived sessions.
There are always going to be students that can’t get to one-to-ones with their tutors, whether face-to-face or online, so how could we extend that reach beyond the working day? Smarthinking helps us do that and frees up more time for staff to address students that need particular kinds of interventions.
