Technology Peer Editing Inward Digital In Addition To Mobile Environments

For years instantly I cause got been happily using EtherPad based services similar http://primarypad.com/ and http://sync.in/ to acquire participants on the preparation courses I deliver to operate collaboratively to exercise as well as peer edit texts. Increasingly though I've been having problems alongside the reliability of the gratis services these companies render as well as the lack of reliable compatibility alongside mobile devices.


At final it seems that instantly I cause got a real elegant solution inward the shape of https://quip.com/.
Quip looks a lot similar Evernote as well as has a similar interface alongside documents contained inward notebooks, only 1 of the large differences is that Quip was designed specifically to enable peer editing as well as collaboration on documents as well as has a real clear means of showing as well as tracking the changes.

Here's a curt tutorial showing yous how it works:


Why should nosotros acquire our students peer editing?
  • It improves their awareness of accuracy
  • It tin sack improve the lineament of their writing
  • Pushes students to convey that writing is a procedure that needs revisions as well as redrafting
  • The mightiness to collaborate inward digital environments is probable to hold upwardly an of import existent footing digital literacy

What kinds of peer editing activities tin sack nosotros exercise alongside students?
  • We tin sack laissez passer on them texts alongside planted errors (10 - 20) inward to operate on a discovery as well as right together. These could hold upwardly the lyrics of songs they similar or stories or articles they cause got read.
  • We tin sack acquire students to right each others' compositions earlier nosotros hold off at them.
  • We tin sack laissez passer on them texts alongside specific features missed out as well as acquire them to operate together to add together them. These could hold upwardly linking or referencing devices, punctuation, vocabulary words, grammatical features such every bit prepositions or articles etc.
  • We tin sack acquire them working together to rearrange parts of a text into a ameliorate social club or structure.
  • We tin sack laissez passer on them the bare construction of a storey as well as enquire them to embellish it as well as acquire inward to a greater extent than descriptive as well as interesting.

What I similar close Quip
  • It's free
  • Nicely designed interface
  • Works as well as looks good inward both tablet  app shape as well as inward the browser
  • Clearly tracks as well as highlights changes to documents past times unlike users
  • It looks secure as well as enables yous to trammel who sees as well as works on the document piece editing
  • Has a variety of chat messaging characteristic which works along side the notes for changes
  • We tin sack exercise it to acquire students collaborating as well as working together exterior the classroom

What I'm non then certain about
  • It requires registration, which tin sack dull things downward inward class, only it does every bit good add together a grade of security
  • I haven't tried it alongside larger groups nonetheless then I'm non certain how reliably it volition purpose when scaled upwardly to tell having a whole shape operate synchronously on a unmarried document
  • Not certain how long it volition rest gratis (There is a Quip Business already available)
I'm instantly looking forwards to my side past times side course of pedagogy then that I tin sack endeavour Quip out as well as acquire a fighting to a greater extent than experience alongside it. I promise yous every bit good discovery it useful alongside your students. Do drib me a employment as well as allow me know how it goes.
