Word Processing


Annotated Research

Question: Does word processing affect the quality of student writing?

Answer: “Found that word processing affected the writing process of students, but not the quality of their written products.” JL Walther. 1989. P. 211.

Comment:  I’m not sure what this finding means. I still think that the major effect of word processing is on revision, but the quality of that revision lies in the pencil/paper or computerized brainstorming, thesis, and draft. RayS.
