driving progression through innovative literacy, STEM and assessment technology

supporting FE colleges

Texthelp technologies have been designed with Further Education colleges in mind. Our support tools make reading, writing and maths on computers, laptops and tablets easier and more rewarding for students studying many different courses. And that means delivering a richer and more inclusive learning experience that prepares young people for a successful future that lies ahead.

including every student

Our support technologies help students transition from secondary education, into college life and then into the workplace. We can help equip students with the skills and tools they need to be independent, critical thinkers and thrive in life after college. 

Whether students struggle due to a learning difficulty such as dyslexia, are learning English as an additional language or are typically disengaged with course content, our smart technologies are instantly available whenever they’re needed to help with coursework, research and exam revision. 

study smarter with Read&Write

Organise study notes and revision. Enrich essays and coursework with wider vocabulary and fewer errors. Clarify and bring structure to online research.  Polish assignments and day-to-day correspondence with handy dictionary, translator and proofing tools.

Read&Write offers a range of practical literacy tools that every college student can benefit from.

help at exam time

Because of learning disabilities like dyslexia, as well as those with Special Educational Needs - a significant proportion of FE students need the assistance of a human reader in the exam room.  That means sitting exams while relying on human assistance can be a stressful and disheartening experience. 

What’s more, with resit rates climbing it’s an additional cost burden that’s felt keenly by every college. 

Implementing Read&Write computer reading software allows your students, who would usually require the help of a human reader, to take back control and sit their exams independently and with increased confidence.

enriching maths and STEM content

EquatIO makes maths digital. Supporting enriched learning and closer collaboration in maths and STEM subjects, it’s a perfect partner for today’s tech focused colleges. 

Naturally integrating with Read&Write, EquatIO lets students and lecturers create equations, formulas, graphs and more directly on PC’s, laptops and tablets. Input’s easy: type, hand-write, or dictate any expression, with no tricky coding or maths languages to master. 

There’s also a huge library of ready-made expressions to save time, from simple formulas to complex functions. When you’re done, it’s easy to add equations into a document at a click.

personalised, automated writing assessment 

Assessing student writing can be a very time consuming process, with dozens of multi-page documents to read and evaluate, before providing meaningful feedback. With our writing assessment tool, WriQ, the tedious, manual process is replaced with automatic, digital grading.

WriQ automatically measures student writing for grammatical accuracy, and provides students with instant feedback to help accelerate writing proficiency. It provides a faster, more accurate and consistent way of marking spelling, grammar and punctuation, giving educators more time to focus on the context of written work.
