Abstract:

Computer-assisted writing  conferences help overcome one of the major problems associated with CAI—how to get students to write effectively on computers.  Computer conferences allow the teacher to spot the level at which the student is having difficulty, whether it be at the word, sentence or
conceptualization level. Not only does the computer conference help spot such problems, but with the student present the teacher can actually see his/her writing "in process" and help the student make changes.
