Abstract

This paper studies how to improve students’ technical and academic writing skills by applying digital technology, and identifying the effect of technical and psychological factors. The specific purposes of the study are to determine: 1) How digital technology can improve students’ technical and academic writing performance, 2) What tools and apps are available that can enhance students’ writing skills, 3) What technical and psychological issues need to be addressed to incorporate digital technology into the writing-intensive classes. Given the persistent limited writing performance with low motivation of learning academic and technical writing among the undergraduate students in the computer technology programs such as Cyber Security and Information Technology, this study is significant.
