“…The ‘Webpage Assessment for Secondary School Students’ was designed based on previous studies (Carver et al , 1991; Flower & Hayes, 1981; Mayer & Sims, 1994; Nystrand & Himley, 1984; Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1987; Smith, 1997). Assessment items included four categories, Content, Layout, Structure, and Link, which are allocated with various score ratios according to their significance.…”

A writing process of five stages, setting the topic and goals, planning the outline, organising the structure, building the content, and reviewing, is proposed to guide hypermedia authoring. To explore the effects of the system designed with writing-process guidance, this study enrolled 108 seventh graders at a junior high school as experimental subjects. Results of the experiment show that writing-process guidance does indeed help in the presentation of students' web page creations. This experiment also explored the differences in web page creations between different genders. Results show that creations of male students are better than those of female students.

“…Students come to writing with years of experience in speaking. However, learning to write poses a new set of challenges (Nystrand & Himley, 1984). Familiar with the interactional structure of speech, students must learn a new structure for writing that relies on a clear order and sufficient detail.…”

“…The audience for the writer is abstract and external (Baker, 1994). Nystrand and Himley (1984) explained that although beginning writers intuitively grasp the give-and-take of an oral conversation, they have "little if any awareness of the idiosyncratic resources of written language" (p. 206). In speech, we are able to gauge the effectiveness of our message by the verbal and nonverbal responses of the addressee (Kress, 1994).…”

“…Writing, however, asks the author to achieve a rhetorical effect on a reader who is separated by time and space. This separation requires the author to strive for balance between her own expressive needs and the needs of the readers (Nystrand & Himley, 1984). To achieve this, the author must have a real sense of purpose for this more difficult form of expression.…”

“…John Hayes and Linda Flower (1986) formulated three stages in the writing process (planning, sentence generation, and revision) and suggested that the act of writing itself helps the writer discover what to say and how to say it. In particular, the revision process helps the author elaborate not only his external verbal expressions but also his internal private thoughts (Murray 1978; Nystrand and Himley 1984).…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine via a laboratory experiment the effects of two features of electronic negotiation, correctability and exitability, on negotiation processes and outcomes.We define correctability as the negotiator's ability to revise messages before transmitting them to the other party, thus prompting informational and social elaboration.The opportunity to exit the negotiation that the use of the electronic medium creates, a phenomenon for which we have coined the term "exitability, " can give rise to the perception that electronic negotiation is inherently more unstable than face-to-face negotiation. In two experiments, we manipulated the exitability of one of the parties in three ways. In another experiment, we manipulated correctability in two ways.We found that increased exitability caused by the existence of a potential alternative party with whom to negotiate prompted participants to decrease their demands and to reach agreement more often. Increasing the correctability of messages enhanced their clarity and generated more trade-offs, thus leading to more frequent agreements.
