The Development of Early Computer-Assisted Writing Instruction (1960-1978): The Double Logic of Media and Tools.
This essay traces a distinction between computer-mediated writing environments that are"tools" for correcting student prose and those that are "media" for communication. This distinction has its roots in the influence of behavioral science on teaching machines and computer-aided writing instruction...

This distinction has its roots in the influence of behavioral science on teaching machines and computer-aided writing instruction during the 1960s and 1970s. By looking at the development of the time-shared, interactive, computer-controlled, information television (TICCIT) and early human–computer interaction (HCI) research, this essay demonstrates that hardware and software systems had the potential to work as both tools and media. The influence of this double logic is not only historical but also has implications for post-secondary writing instruction in the age of Microsoft Word, ETS's "e-rater," and the "reading/assessment" software tools being developed by Knowledge Analysis Technologies (KAT). This essay challenges composition researchers and computational linguists to develop pedagogies and software systems that acknowledge writing environments as situated within the logic of both tools for correction and "media" for communication. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Computers & the Humanities is a copyright of Springer, 2004.
