As part of the writing support strategy at Murdoch University, we are currently trialing an online grammar tool, Grammarly, which is now freely available to all staff and students.

Grammarly is an automated grammar tutor and revision support tool that suggests grammatical corrections and provides basic explanations and examples to assist editing decisions.

In order to make the best use of Grammarly, users should:

• run Grammarly in the final editing and proof-reading stages of their writing,
• carefully consider each suggestion, since it may not be the most appropriate choice in the context, and
• access the Communication Skills Toolkit for more information about the best way to use Grammarly and other resources to improve their writing.

Information about how to set up a free account and access and use Grammarly is available in the LMS Help for Staff site.
