Features (detailed) -- Work in Progress
MATCHA's feature set is organized into integrity, productivity, organizational, and pro feature groups.
Integrity Features
- Certified Edit History: replay signed text edits and verify the document was produced through normal writing activity.
- Copy‑Paste Control: prevent or constrain paste‑in content from other apps, while allowing editing within the document and copy/paste from the built‑in browser.
-
Certified .docx:
export cryptographically signed
.docxfiles that can be verified as MATCHA outputs with specific settings. - Complete Work History: extend the audit trail to browsing activity, scrolls, clicks, and editor movement.
- Single-App Mode: enforce fullscreen focus and make app switching materially harder during supervised or unsupervised writing.
- Check‑In: require supervised entry into activities using MATCHA Proctor and QR-based verification.
- Cheating Reports: allow students to discreetly alert proctors to suspicious behavior.
- Follow-up quizzes: support post-submission checks tied to a student's own work.
Productivity Features
- Built-In Browser: keep approved readings, LMS content, and web research inside MATCHA.
- Reference Management: import bibliographies and insert citations directly in the writing flow.
- Rich Text Editing: support tables, figures, notes, references, and math without turning the editor into a formatting maze.
- Notes: keep outlines, quotations, and scratch work separate from the main submission while still tracking edits.
Organizational Features
- Enterprise-Ready Activity Management: organize institutions, courses, roles, settings, and reusable configurations.
- Anonymous Submission: support blind grading by omitting participant identity from generated submission files.
- Cloud Submissions: collect submission files and replay artifacts through common cloud-storage workflows.
Writer Pro Features
- Detailed writeups for MATCHA Writer Pro features are still to come.
