Founded in 2014, Revisely is a well-established SaaS app designed to revolutionize the way marking and feedback is given in educational institutions. Located in Breda, Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands, the startup wants to alleviate the workload of teachers, hence improving productivity. With the belief that happy teachers make happier students, this solution couldn’t come at a better time when educational institutions are seeking out innovative solutions to make teaching and learning more effective especially in this digital age.
Currently, Revisely boasts a clientele of over 200,000 users comprising of schools, colleges, and universities. It was introduced to the market by founders Jeroen Fransen, a Cambridge alum and Jo Ritzen, former Minister of Education of the Netherlands. This dynamic duo believed that the traditional method of correcting and grading student work needed to be optimised for the sake of both teachers and students. With teachers’ workload drastically reduced, students can receive more actionable feedback from educators, and therefore improve their learning outcomes.
One of the key differentiators of Revisely is the unique extendible sets of comments integrated into its web application. These sets not only have tips on how to improve writing skills but also allows for teachers to include personalised feedback, giving students a more comprehensive understanding of where they need to improve. Furthermore, with features such as plagiarism checking, Team Hand-ins, and Peer Grading & Feedback, the app can ensure originality of work, encourage teamwork, and furthermore, make students learn from each other.
From a technical perspective, Revisely’s robust platform can be integrated through LTI 1.1 and 1.3 as well as through its own API. This advantageous flexibility has opened up the door for partnerships with publishers and LMS providers which could set it apart in the crowded EdTech market.
Looking at the future, there is little doubt that EdTech will continue to play a critical role in the education sector. As remote learning continues to be the norm in many institutions, the need for solutions to reduce the workload of educators like Revisely is even more important now. The continued evolution and enhancement of its feature set can make it a well-sought after solution for teachers struggling with workload management.
Revisely is paving the way for teachers to significantly improve the way they grade and provide feedback on students work.
