T.A. Toolbar is designed to aid the busy online instructor by being both accessible and
unobtrusive. In its default state, it appears as a translucent toolbar, located adjacent to the text of
the document at hand. No more reaching up to Word's toolbars, over and over, just to click
difficult to find buttons and formatting options. Everything you need is one compact location.
To access T.A. Toolbar's buttons, simply hold your mouse over the appropriate category for the
issue you wish to address and the buttons you need will magically appear. For example, is you
wish to mark a sentence fragment, simply allow your mouse to hover over the word "Sentence" on
T.A. Toolbar and a variety of buttons will appear--including one for sentence fragments.
Just click and you're done. A nice comment is inserted in bold, blue lettering into the student's
essay. In most cases, hyperlinks within these comments will allow curious students to learn more
about a given writing problem.
