Is LEP a plagiarism detector?
No. LEP does not compute a similarity score, does not match student text against a corpus, and does not output a verdict. It captures the writing process, so teachers have evidence to ground a conversation. The decision about what that evidence means stays with the teacher.
Where is student data stored?
In Sydney, Australia. Database and authentication are hosted by Supabase in the ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) region. The application server runs on Vercel pinned to the syd1 region. No data is transferred outside Australia in normal operation.
Do you use student work to train an AI?
No. LEP does not send any student text, behavioural events, or metadata to any AI service. There is no model training, fine-tuning, or third-party AI vendor in the data path.
What does the student see when they start?
On first sign-in, every student sees a two-column modal: “What your teacher will see” and “Not recorded”. It's plain English. They can re-open it any time from the sidebar.
Who owns and controls the data?
The school does. LEP stores a student's drafts and writing record in Australia, nothing more. Schools can export or permanently delete any student's work whenever they need to. See the
Privacy & Compliance section.
Do we need parental consent to use LEP?
Treat LEP like any other digital tool your school approves: your existing consent process covers it. A template letter for families is available on request.
Can students plan on paper first?
Notes and brainstorming on paper are fine. The drafting and editing happen in LEP, because that working record is the point of the assessment. If a finished essay arrives in one paste, the teacher sees exactly that and can have the conversation. How different students are supported is the teacher's call.
Does it work on Chromebooks / iPads / Windows?
Yes. LEP is a web app, no install required. Tested on Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox. Mobile is supported for reading reports; the writing canvas is optimised for desktop/laptop screens.
