Why AssignProof

AI changed what students submit.
We need to understand what students learn.

When AI tools became widely available, something shifted in how students engaged with their work. The focus moved toward producing polished outputs, often bypassing the messy, valuable process of working through ideas.

The problem isn't AI itself — it's what we call cognitive offloading. When students delegate their thinking to AI, they miss the struggle that builds understanding. And when educators only see the finished product, they lose visibility into whether learning actually happened.

Process Over Product

Shift focus from what students produce to how they arrive there

Cognitive Offloading

Students using AI without engaging their own reasoning miss the learning that assignments are designed to create

Invisible Learning

Educators cannot assess what they cannot see. AssignProof makes the thinking process visible

Our Story

Born from the classroom. Built for the future of education.

AssignProof started with a simple observation: when AI became part of students' daily workflow, the nature of learning changed. The outputs looked better than ever, but the thinking behind them often wasn't happening at all.

As educators, we recognized this wasn't a problem to be solved by banning AI. The question was: how do we keep the thinking in the learning process?

We began by studying the research — Bloom's Taxonomy, the Halpern Critical Thinking Assessment, the Socratic Method, and Pearson's RED Model. These frameworks became the foundation for a new approach to understanding student reasoning.

2023

Observed the impact of AI on student engagement firsthand in the classroom.

2024 Q1

Began researching cognitive offloading and its effects on learning outcomes.

2024 Q3

Developed the Critical Thinking Assessment Framework grounded in established pedagogical theory.

2025

Building AssignProof — a platform that makes student reasoning visible to educators.

The Framework

A research-backed approach to measuring critical thinking

Our framework synthesizes established pedagogical theories into a practical model that educators can use to understand and evaluate student reasoning.

R

Recognize

Identify assumptions, biases, and the structure of arguments.

E

Evaluate

Weigh evidence, assess credibility, and judge the strength of reasoning.

D

Decide

Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, and construct well-supported positions.

Theoretical Foundations

Bloom's Taxonomy

Provides the hierarchical structure for cognitive skills, from basic recall to complex evaluation and creation.

Halpern HCTA

Offers validated methods for assessing critical thinking abilities across different contexts and disciplines.

Socratic Method

Shapes our approach to guided inquiry, using questions to reveal and strengthen reasoning processes.

Pearson RED Model

Contributes the Recognize-Evaluate-Decide framework that structures our assessment approach.

The Tool

Making student thinking visible — at scale

AssignProof is being built as a platform that integrates directly into the learning workflow, giving educators real-time insight into student reasoning.

Structured Reasoning Prompts

Guide students through critical thinking processes with scaffolded questions aligned to our framework.

Thinking Process Capture

Record and visualize how students work through problems, making invisible reasoning visible.

Educator Dashboard

See at a glance how your students are thinking, where they struggle, and how their reasoning develops over time.

AI-Aware Design

Built for a world where AI is part of the learning environment. Focuses on reasoning that matters regardless of tools used.

Currently in Development

We're building AssignProof in close collaboration with educators. If you're interested in shaping the future of critical thinking assessment, we'd love to hear from you.
