What are the pros and cons for using a Google Doc versus a written paper for a student assignment?
Answer
Google Docs offers faculty members the ability to view document history, insert comments for feedback, collaborate with multiple users, and easily update content after receiving input. Additionally, students can make a copy of the document to preserve the original version, which is particularly useful compared to handwritten submissions that involve sharing the original work. After the original document is marked up by peer reviewers the student must rewrite the paper document.
