Tech Tip of the Week
From Jen O'Brien
TIP: Improve the readability of your emails, web writing and more through one simple website.
WHY: Unless you’re working on a piece of creative writing, your writing in Student Affairs has one purpose: to convey a message to your reader.
Whether that message is through a webpage, an office brochure, an annual report, or just an email, you want the reader to easily understand you.
Use the Hemingway App Editor to analyze a piece of writing for active voice, complicated sentences, unnecessary adverbs, and general readability. The app will assign a grade level and provide suggestions on how to improve the piece. You should aim for grade level 11 or below.
HOW: Visit the Hemingway App Editor website and click on the “write” box at the top right side of the screen. Enter your text into the editor and then click the “edit” button. Your analysis will appear in the right pane of the screen.
