Abstract

In January 1985, the Writing Center at Carnegie-Mellon University undertook a three year project, sponsored by the Fund for the improvement of Post- Secondary Education, to create a computer environment for teaching critical reading, reasoning, and writing skills. This report, originally given as a talk at the CALICO '85 Symposium in Baltimore, explains the problem which WARRANT is designed to address, the assumptions on which it is based, the design of the program itself, the procedure to be used in developing the curriculum and some of the theoretical issues involved.
