Shanahan, Marilyn; Holmquist, Donna – Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, 1994
A group of 41 business communication students were taught to use a grammar/style checker and completed a writing exercise. Compared to 44 controls who did not use the software, there were no differences in error scores. Previous computer experience did not affect scores, but prior language skills may have influenced them. (SK)
