R-WISE: A Learning Environment to Teach Prose Composition.

Abstract

This paper describes a computerized environment for teaching the conceptual patterns of critical literacy. While the full implementation of the software covers both reading and writing, this paper discusses only the writing aspect of R-WISE (Reading and Writing in a Supportive Environment). The project is part of a seven year Air Force Effort--Fundamental Skills Training or (FST)--to transition advanced computer-aided instruction to the public school sector. This paper gives an overview of the approach the tutor uses, its underpinnings in cognitive and textual theories, and the results of a pilot study (1992-1993).
