The purpose of this review of literature was to synthesize a wide range of both
quantitative and qualitative studies of teacher implementation of computer-assisted
writing
curriculum methods. Studies on the effect of computer-assisted learning,
the relationship of
computers and children's writing, and assessment methods
for traditional and electronic
writing environments were reviewed. Computer
platforms of word processing, interactive
multimedia and hypermedia were juxtaposed
with inherent problems of assessing these newly
popular and proliferating
writing curriculum environments. Potential obstacles, possible
solutions,
and new concerns for evaluating students' electronically published writings were
addressed to illuminate available directions to the dilemma of teacher assessment
of
electronically created writings. (Contains 3 figures and 62 references.)
