A free version of Brisk Teaching is available to anyone and the paid "Brisk School" version is available to all faculty at Dwight-Englewood until June 2025. (We are piloting the service and will determine whether we should continue with it in the future depending on teacher use and feedback.) All adults should automatically get access to the premium version (before the five day free trial of premium expires). If not, please create a support request with Computer Services for assistance.
Brisk Teaching is a Chrome extension and includes the following features:
Suggest (to you) first-pass AI feedback on student writing
Playback document revision history using Inspect Writing
Guidance for Detecting AI writing
See the five minute video below for a demonstration of those features.

AI detection
AI detection
Brisk AI detection works best on work created in a Google Doc. Therefore, you will have the best experience if you assign and collect student writing using either the Google Assignments option in My D-E (Blackbaud) or Google Classroom. Click AI detection above for more information.
100% accurate AI writing detection is not possible with any tool given how writing is currently generated by AI Large Language Model tools including ChatGPT. However, AI detection can be a pointer toward the need for a conversation with a student to asses their understanding of their writing or more closely looking at the version history of a document. The Inspect Writing feature in Brisk may help with this.
Google Assignments in My DE
Google Assignments in My DE
Any assignment posted to My DE can be created as a Google Assignment. Students work in a Google Doc, which you can access while they are drafting, then a student submits the Doc to you via My DE. You can then provide specific comments and feedback or a summative comment that students won't see until you choose to return the work. If you use the My DE grade book, the grade you enter for the Google Assignment will automatically appear in your grade book. And you can share the grade with students online too, if desired. More details the webpage Using Google Assignments with Blackbaud. (Note that the LTI setup listed in set one has already been completed system-wide.)
