Teachers
Set a research question, hand every student their own copy of a starter investigation, and open each hand-in as a frozen version — click any claim through to the page it rests on.
Loom is Temple Seven’s research tool, where students build investigations. They gather evidence from authentic public-domain primary sources — books, newspapers, maps and pictures, each traced to the library or museum that holds it — make claims, tie every claim to its sources, and reach conclusions a teacher can open and check.
Comprehension made visible, in the age of the AI essay.
When a finished essay proves little about who understood what, the work worth assessing is the reasoning itself: which sources a student found, what they claimed, and how each claim rests on a page. Loom makes that visible. Every quote is checked word for word against the page it cites, every claim shows the sources for and against it, and every hand-in is a frozen version that cannot be edited afterwards.
AI is changing what schoolwork can prove. A polished essay can be produced in seconds, detectors can wrongly flag honest work, and banning AI does not prepare students for a world that runs on it. Loom takes a different path: it puts AI inside a process where the thinking is what gets made, seen and assessed.
Temple Seven does not decide what is true. It shows where each claim came from, so a teacher and a student can check it together.
Watch an Audit the AI assignment: the research assistant answers once, citing a page for every claim, and students check each citation against the scan.
Set a research question, hand every student their own copy of a starter investigation, and open each hand-in as a frozen version — click any claim through to the page it rests on.
Seats on one annual licence. Bring people in by invitation, by verified email domain or through your LMS, and see who did what in an audit log.
Seminars, methods courses and theses: peer review on a frozen version, a full version history, and citations out to Zotero, Mendeley and EndNote.
Teach source evaluation with sources traced to the institutions that hold them, and keep a shared reading list in one library investigation everyone on the licence can open.
A teacher creates a class and shares its six-character join code — or students arrive from the LMS already in the right course.
Give it a brief, a due date and, if you like, a starter investigation. Each student gets their own copy to build on; nobody edits anyone else’s.
They pin books, quoted passages, page scans, newspaper clips and maps from the archive, write their claims, and connect each claim to the sources that support or contradict it.
A hand-in is a frozen, fingerprinted version the student cannot change afterwards, marked late by our server’s clock if it is. The teacher opens it and lands on the cited page with one click.
Watch it on screen: make a class, post an assignment from a starter investigation, open exactly what each student handed in, and return it with the rubric.
There is no per-feature tier on a school licence. Every seat — student or teacher — carries:
Subscriber-size investigations: cards for books, quotes, page scans, newspaper clips, maps, images and notes; claims with the evidence for and against; the yarn that connects them.
Public-domain books, newspapers, maps and pictures — original scans and enhanced editions — searchable to the page, each traced to the library or museum that holds it.
Join codes, starter investigations, due dates, frozen hand-ins, and peer review on a frozen version.
Every card and connection, dated — so a teacher can see how an argument was built, not only where it ended.
MLA, APA and Chicago bibliographies, Word export, and BibTeX and RIS files for Zotero, Mendeley and EndNote.
Every sentence it writes cites the student’s own cards or is removed before the student sees it, and a quotation it offers must appear word for word on its page. Use draws on one shared monthly allowance across the licence.
Launch from Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L Brightspace, Sakai and other LTI 1.3 platforms.
Seats and invitations, verified-domain joining, roles, a handling policy (including legal hold), an audit log and a data export.
AI Workspaces (the research agent that builds an investigation for you) are not part of a seat. Single sign-on through your identity provider is on our roadmap; today people join by invitation, by a verified email domain, or by launching from your LMS.
Watch the license console: invite people, choose what students under 18 see, set the handling policy, and read the audit log.
Loom is an LTI 1.3 tool, so it is registered once in a learning platform that supports the standard — Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L Brightspace, Sakai and others.
Your LMS administrator can register the tool from our setup guide, which lists every URL to paste in.
