WIRE

WIRE (Writing Integrity Risk Evaluation) helps teachers identify submissions that may have been written or heavily assisted by AI tools like ChatGPT. This feature helps maintain academic integrity in your classroom.

How It Works

When WIRE is enabled for a task, every submission is automatically analysed using multiple evaluation methods. Penmate combines several signals to assess the writing integrity of each submission.

If the analysis indicates a concern, the submission is automatically flagged for teacher review.

Enabling WIRE

WIRE is enabled per task:

1. When creating or editing a task, toggle the WIRE option
2. All submissions for that task will be automatically analysed
3. Flagged submissions are marked in the teacher’s dashboard

What Teachers See

For each submission with WIRE enabled, teachers can see:

• Whether the submission was flagged as potentially not written by the student
• Sentence-level highlighting — individual sentences are colour-coded to indicate areas of concern
• Writing behaviour insights — information about how the student wrote their text
• A brief summary explaining the evaluation findings

Important Notes

• WIRE is a supporting tool, not a definitive verdict — always use professional judgement
• Results are visible only to teachers — students do not see whether their work has been flagged
• No evaluation method is 100% accurate — use the results as one input alongside your own assessment
