Considerations:
Do you want to keep a
copy of the original version as well as revisions?
Do you want to request
that the students give you a printed copy as well as an electronic
version? (for records and grades)
Do all of your students have Word? The reviewing marks
will appear in Word Perfect.
Additional
Information:
You can insert audio into
the document
A teacher can create a
separate Word document with comments that he makes repeatedly
(boilerplate) and copy and
paste them into the student’s paper for comments.
