Abstract
Many students begin post-secondary studies with inadequate reading comprehension and expository writing skills. Strong skills in these areas are necessary for interpreting source material, integrating multiple ideas, and formulating clear and coherent arguments to complete integrated reading and writing tasks typical of most post-secondary assignments. This article reports on college students’ perspectives on an intervention study exploring how integrated reading and writing instruction can be combined with collaborative writing using a cloud-based tool to develop students’ expository writing skills. A 10-week intervention was designed to introduce 70 students to discrete expository writing skills such as paraphrasing, summarizing, and synthesizing source material. The intervention aimed to enhance students’ awareness of the connection between the individual skills and the final product: expository essays. This study was conducted at a large urban community college in Ontario, Canada, with culturally diverse first-year students across disciplines. Individual interviews were conducted with 14 students. Results of thematic and content analyses showed that participants were largely positive about their online collaborative writing experiences with their peers, and many found that the instructional design supported their learning through knowledge construction, social support, and easily accessible information.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
