Forge An integrity-enhanced word processor and learning management system.

The Forge: Writing Assignments, Built for Open Pedagogy

The Forge is an assignment platform built to support open pedagogy. It lets instructors design renewable, collaborative, long-form assignments where students create public-facing, openly licensed work.

Students draft in a collaborative word processor with structured drafting stages, secure version control and peer review. Instructors get process-focused analytics that show how the work evolved, so you can see learning progress and not just the final product.

Find it on the Launchpad, or go straight to forge.libretexts.org.

What you can do in the Forge

• Design long-form assignments with structured drafting stages that guide students from first draft to finished work.
• Run peer review anonymously or not, right inside the assignment.
• See the writing process with document Rewind, EssayMaps and time and effort metrics such as heat maps.
• Support academic integrity with secure version control and a full edit history.
• Publish student work back into the LibreTexts Libraries as openly licensed content.
