One medium-related area of C-MOC is the interference of errors. Errors should be addressed as part of any C-MOC pedagogy. It will not do to simply promise our students that future iterations of C-MOC programs will be close to error-free or lament that the current programs do not always fulfill our demands for complete accuracy. We must deal with the technology as it is now with all of its idiosyncrasies. Errors can be intrusive, as each of the informants noted. Such errors are evidence of the computer’s attempts to think along with us as we compose and to predict the structure of our sentences. But they can also prove an opportunity for a unique kind of revision.
