Free Online English Writing Course

Q: An instructor at our University is developing an online English writing course, and will be delivering the course via WebCT. The course will require several papers from the students to be submitted for grading, and these papers must conform to APA writing style. The instructor, who uses MSWord, was wondering how the papers would appear in Word, if the students created them using any number of word processing applications, and what the best method of receiving student papers would be, since formatting of the papers will be critical to the assigned writings. Any suggestions, other than having the students mail them?

A:If a student is using application other than MSWord, make sure the application comes with a feature that they can save as ".doc" I think that is the best way to retain MS Word format. If they don't have it, let them download software that could convert them to MS Word. If that doesn't work , there is a free software that convert documents into pdf. Just go to adobe or download.com to get it.
