Abstract
The two studies described here compare essays composed on word processors to those composed with pen and paper for a standardized writing assessment. The following questions guided these studies: 1) Are there differences in test administration and writing processes associated with handwritten versus word processor writing assessments?, and 2) Are there differences in how raters evaluate handwritten versus word processor format? Study 1 revealed that there are some differences in the manner in which students approach writing essays when given a choice of the two formats. Study 2 revealed that there are differences in the manner in which essays in each format are scored by raters.
