Research has found that students who used laptops to compose wrote more and self-corrected their work more often than those who used paper and pencil. This may be due to the ease of editing and revising on a computer, which allows for more efficient self-correction. Moreover, students can write and revise without creating messes of strikethroughs and erasing.
