EverWrite
A Review on- EverWrite
Everwrite is an educational software where a learner can
practice different grammatical items by correcting grammatical errors. It helps
learners to improve grammatical skills by editing errors in different writing
perspectives. The quality of writing can be improved more quickly by editing
errors. It has four different sections-Home, Score, Help, Quit; each section
comes with different elements and all these elements are very helpful to know
about effective writing skill.
In homepage there are six options; Editing exercises, Identifying
rhetorical paragraph, working with transitions, Organize your thoughts, Recognizing
your thesis statement and Practicing grammar.
Everwrite is an educational platform
where a learner does not need to open any account to access the software. A
learner can practice all the sections just by putting his or her name only at
the intro session. After that a learner can directly enter the homepage. In
homepage; there are six sessions. If one click on any of session, there will be
different sub sessions. From these sub sessions one can easily choose practice
items. There is an another interesting option for the learner, one can choose
practice session or give a test. Practice sessions are focused on daily base
learning and Test based task focused with overall learning. All the tests has
feedback session, it will mention all the errors and give the correct answers.
There is a feedback meter where they show the results and comments. In score option it will show the scores the users have
obtained from the tests. If they want to take the print out of the result from
the score sheet, they can. User can easily get a brief idea by clicking on the
help option. A brief review has been given there, it will help the beginners.
If the learner want to get out from the page quit option will help to exit.
Everwrite is giving an opportunity to improve
in all aspects of writing like grammar, punctuations, how to select thesis
statement, how to organize own thoughts, transition of the sentences and so on.
Practice session is the best option to know the exact manner of writing. There
is no limitation of practice so user can practice one item several times.
Everwrite has some limitations, the main
problem is, it does not save the previous scores. After quit the game learner
will not be able to see the earlier scores. Though it has the printing option
but who does not have printer will not be able to save their result for further
comparison. Another problem is it comes with fixed and limited contents. These
contents are very less for practice. User can participate in the test for each
item only once per session. This is not user friendly and not easily navigated.
The contents are not textually enhanced, no pictures and quite traditional in
pattern which is boring for the beginners.
So, Everwrite is the software where learners
can learn by correcting errors. It helps to improve writing skill.
Dear Nusrat,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. EverWrite is really a good software that helps learner to improve their writing skills. You have written some limitations of EverWrite those are absolutely correct but according to my point of view I have found EverWrite user friendly.
I totally agree with you. Here are some listed grammars and practices. I think it would have been better if all data were used together by exe.file in the transfer case.
