Once you have researched and planned your essay, how do you transform your plan into a first draft and beyond? Come to this workshop to:
· Learn what apps and software you can use to improve writing productivity
· Discover how you can use technology to help edit and proofread assignments
The suggested strategies will focus on some tools that are freely available on most computers and mobile devices, as well as offering some suggestions for low-cost apps. There are also options for students who would find it helpful to invest in more advanced software.
This online workshop will take place on a Blackboard Collaborate link within the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle Module.
