WRITING, THINKING AND ENGLISH

Direct to World Wide Writing, 2002 Winner European Award from the European Commission as 'Most Innovative Foreign Language Project'.


Increasingly universities are resorting to Oxford/Cambridge methods of learning through writing. This implies that writing skills are becoming more important in the assessment of competences than before when oral defence and presentation skills could be used. Some background information is listed on Paul Peter's of the Hogeschool Arnhem and Nijmegen. As part of a joint operation, the Universities in Gelder;land have begun the programing of WorldWideWriting.com, an award winning tool to assist students at all tertiary levels in communicating and studying in Spanish, Italian, French, German, Dutch and English. To avoid duplication, and to maximally use existing OnLineWriting OWL labs, we have conducted several surveys on the Web. The results for English are listed below.

This homepage lists results of a preliminary search for two tools:
- Guidance in the art of writing, prefarably teacher-independent, time-independent and with preference involving peers.
- Marking tools for marking and providing feedback to students regarding their work. Ideally, such tools should be accessible to both peers and teachers.

Please feel free to further home in on writing assistance provided on the internet. You can contact me using the following address at the bottom of the page.

RESULTS TO DATE: SEPT 2012

The results of a number of searches on the Internet are listed below. I have the feeling I have touched the tip of the iceberg, as searches involving 'business communication' and so on have not been completed. I feel, however, that such searches can be done by others, either HomePage editors at Yahoo etc. or Student Assistants and students taking writing courses.
