Introducing Grammarly’s Writing Score Canvas Integration

Included in: Organization-wide Grammarly for Education plans
Managed by: Admins
Available to: Faculty and students

Grammarly’s integration with Canvas allows students to evaluate their written assignments for essential correctness, clarity, engagement, and delivery quality before submitting them. This provides students an opportunity to improve their work before turning it in.

Additionally, faculty can view Grammarly’s writing score for each submission, which offers an initial insight into the work’s readability.

The goal of this integration is for students to submit higher-quality written work, enabling faculty to review assignments more efficiently and pay closer attention to the substance of the writing rather than to its readability.

Grammarly can be integrated with Canvas at the account, sub-account, or individual course level. After activation, it will be available to all students on the assignment page. The use of Grammarly’s integration with Canvas is entirely optional and does not affect the standard assignment submission process.
