Abstract :
The authors propose system integrated mechanisms, a Wiki platform for peer-reviewing. Link grammar for automatically checking the students´ papers, and a RSS reader to periodically retrieve these articles from the platform that is published in the BLOG system. The authors claim that using such a system have two major advantages. First, the students have a chance to exchange their skills and opinions when writing the article. Second, by the assistance of link grammar, the teacher can concentrate on students´ higher level skills instead of correcting mechanical problems.
