Stylefit is an interactive online software designed to improve students’ writing skills by providing immediate, meaningful feedback.

Engage learners using interactive educational technology

Stylefit’s interactive interface encourages learners to experiment with writing, without the fear of failing.

On this course, you’ll discover how the software demonstrates the impact of word choice, seeing first-hand how the tone and style of a message can change completely by altering just a single word.

Using example activities, you’ll understand how to integrate Stylefit into your lessons and explain how it can enhance intended learning outcomes.

Encourage learner autonomy with instant, constructive feedback

Learners are prompted to take ownership of their writing development, through self-directed content creation, analysis, and editing of their own work.

You’ll explore Stylefit’s Grid and learn how it analyses writing, providing individualised feedback that can then be instantly acted upon.

With this knowledge, you’ll be able to embed this tool into your writing lessons, allowing Stylefit to deliver feedback whilst you give further guidance and support.

Help learners improve their skills across writing styles
