NoRedInk

NoRedInk is a learning tool that helps students to improve the way they write by offering them an interest-based curriculum. The cloud-based tool also helps students by providing them access to adaptive exercises and actionable data.

NoRedInk was developed by a former Chicago teacher looking for ways to help his students improve their writing. Jeff Scheur, who is the NoRedInk founder, realized that students needed immediate feedback on their work to address their mistakes.

In his time as a teacher, Jeff realized that most students could learn much faster through a curriculum that stemmed from the student's interest. His experience as a teacher had also taught him that students needed lots of practice to improve their writing. The experience also made him understand that one teacher could not accomplish all these when he or she was serving many students.

NoRedInk, therefore, was born to address those challenges. Through the platform, students are able to improve their skills by engaging materials that they enjoyed. The online learning tool has also made it possible to track the progress of various students over time.

NoRedInk has grown since its early days and now boasts of a vast team of engineers, teachers, and language experts, among other staff dedicated to helping students improve their skills. This cloud-based tool does not serve students only. Its latest version can help everyday people improve their language skills too.

Most students find the traditional approach to grammar boring and thus are less interested in studying grammar. NoRedInk solves this problem by providing content that the students can relate to, such as popular TV shows, celebrity lifestyles, hobbies, and friends.

NoRedInk exercises are designed to feature multiple answers to demonstrate to students that there is more than one way of writing sentences. The developers of this tool are aware that different students have different paces of learning, and thus the site allows students to practice independently. This feature enables the tutors to differentiate each student and address each based on their results.

The platform uses adaptive technology and artificial intelligence to adapt the questions offered to the students based on what they get right or wrong. This works to uproot the underlying misconceptions that contribute to their mistakes.

NoRedInk developers allow students to benefit from unlimited exercises because the developers know that some students can take time to learn new concepts. With the student able to practice what he or she learnt independently, the teacher I able to create more free time to focus on the more significant issues that the students may have.
