This environment includes five functional modules, those are writing module, assessment module, expert module, tools module and system management module. This writing environment provides three writing subjects for helping students writing on the internet. At the design of writing subject is to achieve the personal ability. In this writing environment, several assessment are provided. The design of expert assessment gives some appropriate comments and grades for students. This will help them improve writing skills. Besides, the system provides peer assessment and self assessment. The design of peer assessment is to inspect from other students’ articles, and gives their assessment item grades and comments, this assessment item include article’s rhetoric, organization of structure and content, whereas the design of self assessment can give students chance to assess their articles for checking their strength and weaknesses on writing. In this two assessment modules, the purpose is to let the students reviewing rhetoric, sentence and content of their articles through the writing process of “reviewing”, them improve the quality of articles. At the result of assessment module, through peer assessment most students can achieve an article reviewing process. It is no significant differences between expert assessment and peer assessment, it means that expert and students have the same views in articles. It also means that they have the same views in the design of assessment items. Besides, as predicted the grades of self assessment is higher then the grades of expert and peer assessment.
