Abstract
Advances in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) have resulted in numerous designs for learning systems in the IS community, which offer learners intelligent feedback during the writing process. Despite the increasing interest in research on learning systems for writing skills, there still needs to be more empirical knowledge regarding the impacts of intelligent feedback in different phases of cognitive writing. Therefore, my objective is to explore the effects of intelligent feedback on students' writing skills. I center my investigation on the cognitive writing model, examining how intelligent feedback influences student outcomes. Through a field experiment involving 101 students, I demonstrate the positive effects of intelligent feedback on students' writing skills across all stages of writing (planning, translating (writing), and revision). In addition, I was able to gain initial insights into the phases of writing in which intelligent feedback is most effective.
