They could certainly use it remotely, as could faculty. The instructor can bring up a file of students' written work in a word processor with checking of spelling and grammar, add comments and corrections, and send the annotated work back to each student. There are a couple of ways of preserving all states of revision. If you're going to be at ACTFL, stop by booth 757 and I'll show you exactly how things would work. The writing assignments could, of course, be predicated on file- or Web-based instructional resources that students view, listen to, or read first, and an instructor might want to have the students read and record their compositions. This use is a very small part of what you can do with a very flexible product. Regards, Richard Laden ____________________ Dr. Richard A.

She found this product on the web: http://www.jucs.org/jucs_7_3/an_online_writing_platform/Wible_D.html Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find anyone willing to respond to requests about using/purchasing the program. Has anyone had any experience with this program ... or others that will allow similar error tracking?
