Abstract

In this study we focused our efforts on trying to establish different strategies, instructional techniques and procedures effective and efficient in responding to each and every one of the processes involved in writing. We analyzed fifty empirical studies, recently published, where such strategies were used, as well as a set of virtual tools which, using the same techniques and procedures, provide answers to the different profiles of development and performance in written composition. As a result we could get an idea of the prevalence of strategies based on either typing indicator, and know which of these are being further enhanced through the tools of Web 2.0. During this study we received competitive funds from de MICINN project (EDU2010-19250, 2010-2013) awarded to Principal Researcher (J. N. García).
