A new set of self-marked weekend writing challenges was sent by email to all subscribers – and you may notice something different about them. We are absolutely thrilled to announce some major improvements.
First off, they are now in the Kwiziq system, which means that you can use our accent picker to type accents exactly as you do for kwizzes. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! The major improvement is that KwizBot will now offer corrections for each phrase, to help you pinpoint your mistakes as you self-score.
Please note that this new version of writing challenges is in BETA, so you may encounter the occasional bug or glitch. Please do let us know about these so that we can get them fixed asap. As always, screenshots and information about your system (OS and browser, including versions) is extremely helpful. We’d also love to know what you think about the new format and function: good, bad or indifferent.
So Kwiziq subscribers, check your email for this week’s challenges!
Hey there! What kinds of topics would you like to write about? Please give us some suggestions!
