ClearPage Writer is the essay workspace for middle school, high school, and college classrooms. Students get an AI coach that asks questions, nudges, and revises, but never writes the paper for them. Teachers see how the writing actually happened, analyzed rather than guessed from the finished text.
Every draft comes with a timeline of the writing sessions, the paste log, and the coach conversation, plus an analysis of whether the process looks like composition or like text arriving from somewhere else. You don't have to guess whether the work is theirs. You can see how it happened, then annotate inline and send it back for revision.
Set prompts, word counts, deadlines, and per-assignment permissions. Toggle the outline generator on or off. Cap full-paper AI reviews; ClearPage enforces it.
Open any submission and the answer is already waiting. ClearPage analyzes the timeline, coach chat, and paste log for you and flags anything that doesn't look like the student's own writing, with the evidence right beside it. No detective work required.
Launch ClearPage from any Canvas assignment. Class rosters sync automatically, and assignments you create in ClearPage land back in Canvas via LTI 1.3 deep linking, with no double entry.
Not on Canvas? Spin up a class in seconds and share the join code and students enroll in one click. If you are on Canvas, you can skip this entirely; rosters arrive on their own.
Every paste is captured with its length, timestamp, and a measurement of how much survived into the final draft. No punishment, just a fact you can ask about.
Highlight a phrase, leave a note, mark resolved. Students see your feedback anchored to the exact sentence, even after they revise around it.
Detectors guess. ClearPage analyzes how the essay was written. Every essay carries its own history: the blank-page moment, the questions asked, the paragraphs that survived, the ones that didn't, the pastes that came in, the coach messages that went out.
When a student submits, a teacher doesn't ask "is this AI?" They ask "does this look like someone actually writing?" And the answer is already on screen.
Writing, revising, pasting, coaching, transcription, automation: they don't all leave the same trail. ClearPage evaluates the whole process together and surfaces patterns consistent with retyped or automated text alongside the evidence, so the teacher makes the call. We don't publish the individual signals or thresholds, because an authorship system shouldn't come with instructions for defeating it.
