A Writing Support through Peer Reviewing

چکیده
For communicable writing, reviewing and revising is essential. In this paper, we propose an SNS-based environment to improve writing by repeated collaborative reviewing. The results of an experiment comparing the system against face-to-face collaborative writing show that while face-to-face learners wrote better reports quickly, the system-users could also write reports of the matched quality in their third round, by adopting peers’ suggestions more often than their offline counterparts.
