Universities around the world have made significant investments in educational technologies . The integration of technologies is not a pathway to the elimination of human instructors, but rather an opportunity to enhance instruction (jacobsen 1988 p.6)”
as an instructor of english writing classes in ecuador at the university level, i noticed that it was difficult for my students to learn writing sub-skills in class. the students make a wide variety of errors, including grammatical, syntax, word choice, punctuation and capitalization errors ( olsher ,1996). I think that educational technology can be applied to teach any english skill. As dezure (2000) states, “computers transformed our personal lives and our international relations. This transformation applies to english language teaching as well (p 98)”. So, i decided to implement sidweb, an e-Learning tool to apply some strategies for improving the quality of the students’ writing.
