This is a Perl-CGI script (formerly known as Concord) for analysing a corpus of student writing. You can see it in action here, or visit the Sourceforge project site to get the script itself (run perldoc on it to get the documentation). Feel free to hack it and send me feedback.
A simple Perl-CGI script to enable students to upload essays to a server. Files are uploaded and renamed (so that you don’t end up looking at a load of documents entitled “My Essay.doc”). This script does not work “out of the box”; ;it is something to play around with if you know a bit of Perl.
A Perl-CGI script to compare the vocabulary of a text to a word list (normally the Academic Word List, hence the name). You can see it in action here and download the source code here.
LyX
is a clever document processor which
“breaks away from the obsolete typewriter concept”;
i.e., what you see
is not what you get; what you see is what you mean.
Not a basic guide—this is something I submitted to the LyX documentation team and may appear in the LyX help pages at some point. The document is in LyX 1.5 format; there is also a LaTeX version.
For use with the previous document—shows
what some common LaTeX fonts look like. It’s
a
LaTeX
file, so
run latex
on it and view the outputted DVI file, if it
manages to produce
one. If
it doesn’t, edit out the fonts which it can’t
handle and try
again.
This is the template I use when giving feedback on English composition essays with OpenOffice. It contains a set of macros (you need to click "Enable macros" when prompted) which enable you to highlight and underline common errors easily by clicking on the buttons in the toolbar ("gr" for grammar errors, "sp" for spelling mistakes and so on). There are also two custom character styles, "Comment" and "Inserted text".
