Students are asked to upload a writing sample, ahead of when their assignment is due, and this builds their unique authorship voice.
It acts as a just first step or ingredient, to evolve their overall, demonstrated and owned 'voice'.
No one document represents the student - and even as academic complexity improves over time, students' multi-faceted style and choices (paragraph choice, phrasing) persist.
The drafting process is also another step in the multi-layered validation process, and is transparent to educators as part of reporting. Likewise, the viva-style Q&A stages give the student a chance to show what they have learned, in relation to what they have submitted.

Authorship continuity looks at the patterns of the students own work, giving educators insights on the student's writing process.
