You beautiful people just helped me prove that I wrote my paper and not AI. Everyone deserves a raise.
I admit I had latched on to a few programs that served me well as an experienced teacher and faculty head, but I gave Revision History a go this week and have found its location top of each assignment, and very easy to use features, and layers (so I can much deeper dive on patterns which concern me) has really helped me to identify who has cut corners, and who has worked ethically and transparently. Easy, fast, a range of very easy to skim and use features, and ways I can screen capture evidence for colleagues, students, parents etc - wonderful! It's not cheap, but we're happy with our trial, and will at least extend it for the staff who are engaging, at least for a little while longer.
This is a lifesaver when correcting long peices of writing. A real gamechanger in the age of AI.
I really love using this to help fight against the inappropriate use of AI in the classroom. However, there are two big issues that I wish they would resolve; 1) I wish that I could easily turn on and off the analysis. It counts against my 150 even if I want to look at a document of my own creation. Therefore, I was forced to pay for the extension very early in the year if I wanted to continue to use it. 2) I also need/want to be able to down load the report and/or the draft play video so that I can share it with administration and parents as evidence of my concerns. Revision History's largest competitor, Draftback, allows for both. I am tempted to instead pay for the deluxe version of DraftBack just to have access to this feature though I prefer Revision History's other features.
Do not listen to the low reviews on this extension; all of them are about the price (or are probably written by spiteful students). I am an ELA teacher that has been trying to fight the good fight against unethical use of AI in the classroom. I have gone as far to limit chromebook use as much as possible, and this extension makes me feel like I can trust students again. Does it stop them from retyping everything? No. Does it stop them just copying and pasting a whole essay? Yes. This is an integral tool in the modern teacher's toolbelt. And the price, ~$40 a year? Yeah, I'll pay it. If you don't pay, just use it on students/essays you suspect and the 150 UNIQUE essays will be plenty. Thank you for this tool.
This has been a super helpful tool as a teacher to ensure academic integrity.
This app is good for monitoring student drafting, however, once it became a paid subscription it has become very limited. I would like to print off the revision history to have documentation of cheating and plagiarism. I am no longer able to print this off.
Was a great app, but once they started charging for it it became unusable and annoying.
Verguenza de aplicación todos los profesores abusan de ella
This app is very limited, and you can only see very few things with this app. When I just want to view a doc, it just already counts as a doc. I wish that when we want to see the revision, then it counts as a doc.
Hi all -- Buzz here, CEO of Revision History. We're fixing an ANNOYING sign out bug by EOD that will stop Revision History from constantly signing out every time a new doc loads. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for bearing with us!
Very helpful in monitoring student writing progress and catching cheating. The development/support team is always quick, friendly, and helpful when I've got a problem, too!
