Process Feedback for Canvas

📌 What is Process Feedback?
The Process Feedback extension is for students. In Canvas it tracks the writing process locally in the students’ device. The tracked edit history can be viewed as a writing process report. In the process report, you can explore copy-paste events, the frequency and timing of breaks taken, typing fluency, time spent on each paragraph, time allocated to revision compared to initial drafting, and total typing time.

⚠️ Limitations
The extension is not well-tested with large documents with 100K+ changes or 100K+ characters. Its text styling is also not perfect yet. If you run into issues using the extension, please email us at [email protected].

📜 Terms and conditions
By installing the extension, you agree to and acknowledge the terms and conditions at https://processfeedback.org/terms/.

🔒 Privacy policy
➛ By default, this extension does not collect any user data and runs fully locally in a user’s device.
