Hi Sam,

Here is a suggestion:

Your friend can create a template on his device since the document will be
same across for all students.  Depending on the data he wants to store and
the manner he wants to store, he could use either Word Mobile or Excel
Mobile (both of them allow creation of templates).  From what you have
described, I think Excel will be a better choice since it will help organize
the data a lot better.

He will need to setup a partnership with the computer and enable file sync
so that the files are sync'd to the PC upon connection.  Note that the
documents saved on the device will need to be under "My Documents" folder.
Only files and folder under this folder is sync'd with the computer.

Important point that needs to be considered is a file naming convention.  So
that he has unique files.
