ClassGuard

What ClassGuard is

ClassGuard is a web-based service for reviewing whether student writing matches each student’s established style. Its editor records keystrokes, paste events, pauses, and revisions while students complete assignments. Teachers can inspect sentence-level authenticity highlights, pasted-text locations, behavioral summaries, and replays of writing sessions. The service creates an individual writing profile for every student and updates that profile after later submissions. ClassGuard can import Google Classroom classes, rosters, assignments, and earlier Google Doc essays. Teachers and students use a browser, so no installation is required. ClassGuard describes its audience as K-12 teachers, school administrators, and district IT leaders. It says writing data is encrypted, securely stored, and not shared with third parties, and states FERPA and COPPA compliance. Collection is limited to editor behavior, excluding browsing history and screen recordings. The service is in an early pilot. A 60-day full-access trial costs nothing, with unlimited classes and assignments and no credit card.
