I recently came across Report Wizard, a clever piece of software for teachers of English, French, Spanish, German and even Business studies.

In essence, RW is an evaluation report-writing program that allows you to evaluate your students by select from a list of four standard performance levels (Excellent – Good – Satisfactory – Poor), and then literally writes the report for you in fully editable text.

But what makes RW really stand out is that every text output comes in six variations, which means you have six different ways to praise or, um, “encourage” your students.

I can’t help but think that this kind of tool would be enormously useful in universities.
