Hello Adrian,
Your website is interesting but I don't quite understand how it works. =
Do
people have to be registered with the website?
I don't have any information on other software. Would love to hear what
responses you receive. I simply use the reviewing panes from word and =
the
insert commas from Google documents and have to put my own
suggestions/corrections/grammatical terms in them. I've also tried =
reducing
the margins on a student's paper and putting my comments, opposite the
requisite wording, in a text box on the right hand margin.
Just a little bit removed from the old red/green pen/pencil comments , =
I'm
afraid.
