What Learnaway is

Learnaway is a web-based AI writing detector for teachers that assesses how students produce homework, rather than judging the prose of a finished essay. Students open an assignment link and write in Learnaway’s distraction-free editor; teachers can share links through a VLE, email, or chat, and students can submit without accounts. During writing, the service evaluates signals including paste dominance, typing cadence, writing speed relative to volume, late insertions, tab switching, and interaction variety. A deterministic rule-based engine turns these into risk labels and explanation tags supported by verifiable data points. Teachers receive the signals but retain the final judgement. Learnaway cautions that its signals are not proof or verdicts, and says high concern should involve multiple corroborating signals. Because the system needs to observe the writing process, a finished file by itself cannot be analyzed for that process. It records event types, timestamps, timing deltas, and paste lengths, while stating that it does not collect typed characters, clipboard contents, screens, cameras, microphones, or other tabs. By default, the process stream is scored in memory and discarded; the submitted text and analysis results are kept. Licensed schools can opt into Process Replay per assignment. The free tier allows up to 200 submissions per month school-wide and three active assignments per teacher. Paid plans start at £399/yr.

Who it suits

Learnaway suits teachers and schools that want writing-process signals to inform their review of student homework. It is designed for assignments completed through its link and editor, not analysis of an already-finished file.

What it does well

  • Students can submit through assignment links without creating accounts.
  • Risk labels include explanation tags backed by verifiable data points.
  • Free access covers up to 200 school-wide monthly submissions.
  • Licensed schools can opt into Process Replay per assignment.
  • Traffic uses TLS and stored data is encrypted at rest with AES-256.

What to know first

  • Students must write through a Learnaway link for process analysis.
  • The free tier has three active assignments per teacher.
  • The free tier caps the whole school at 200 submissions monthly.
  • Paraphrase detection is not offered.

Limits

The free tier includes up to 200 submissions per month across the school and three active assignments per teacher. A finished file alone cannot provide the writing-process signals; students need to write through a Learnaway link.
