How to generate random text even if you don't use Word

When I wrote How to make online learning more attractive to colleagues, I needed to create a Google Doc to illustrate a point. I didn’t feel like typing a document myself, so I used a random text generator.

The one I used is called Lorem Ipsum:

It’s dead easy to use, which is a plus point. Also, by clicking on the “lists” opption, you can create a list made up of random text:

There are also various languages that you can generate the Lorem text in, by clicking on the appropriate flags at the top of the page.

If none of these options appeal to you, I’ve written about other means of generating random text in this article: 5 minute tip: generating random text.
