Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and FutureLearn partnership.

Explore the advantages of using Stylefit, an online feedback tool for writing


Stylefit is an interactive online software designed to improve students’ writing skills by providing immediate, meaningful feedback.


On this three-week course, you’ll examine how to introduce Stylefit into classrooms and learning environments and embed its use into your writing classes.


Engage learners using interactive educational technology


Stylefit’s interactive interface encourages learners to experiment with writing, without the fear of failing.


On this course, you’ll discover how the software demonstrates the impact of word choice, seeing first-hand how the tone and style of a message can change completely by altering just a single word.


Using example activities, you’ll understand how to integrate Stylefit into your lessons and explain how it can enhance intended learning outcomes.


Encourage learner autonomy with instant, constructive feedback


Learners are prompted to take ownership of their writing development, through self-directed content creation, analysis, and editing of their own work.


You’ll explore Stylefit’s Grid and learn how it analyses writing, providing individualised feedback that can then be instantly acted upon.


With this knowledge, you’ll be able to embed this tool into your writing lessons, allowing Stylefit to deliver feedback whilst you give further guidance and support.


Help learners improve their skills across writing styles


You’ll learn how, whatever writing styles your learners are developing, Stylefit can guide students to create meaningful writing that connects with their target audience, by adapting tone and expression in their writing.


By the end of this course, you’ll understand how Stylefit can enhance writing classes, improve learning outcomes, and encourage educational autonomy within your classroom.


This course is designed for teachers and tutors of writing skills, working in primary and secondary schools, as well as further education settings.


Computer or Tablet is all you need. You can even use your phone. Internet link or Wifi.
