An Overview And Evaluation: Computer Software To Aid Students In Prewriting, Writing, And Revision, Mary Lou Shomaker

Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experience Program (OURE)

The research on computer software to aid inexperienced writers was done from May, 1990 through August, 1990, and involved examining software that would help students improve their writing. The softwares also were evaluated according to their value for use in computer assisted writing classes. The project had three objectives: 1) to evaluate software designed to aid the writer in the pre-writing, writing, and revising stages; 2) to identify the components of this type of software; 3) to recommend software for the beginning academic writer.
