Introduction

Grammarly is a digital writing tool that provides grammar and spell checking,  plagiarism detection services, and suggestions about writing clarity, concision, vocabulary, style, and tone.

Grammarly helps students find and correct low-level errors in their written work and avoid inadvertent plagiarism. Requiring students to check their work in Grammarly before turning it in allows instructors to focus more on higher-level issues such as critical thinking, creativity, and demonstration of learning. 

Although Grammarly does not currently integrate with Canvas, it does have a report feature that can support course integration. 

Features

• State-of-the-art error correction via natural language processing and machine learning techniques
• Integrates across platforms, applications, and devices
• Particularly effective at correcting errors of ESL writers
• The report function allows students to demonstrate that they’ve checked their work
