C. Tutee role of computer
I hardly ever find web sites that represent what I mean by computer tutee role framework where the student can take control the web site or interface the program. However, I found web sites that little represent this category. It is concordancer Space Less URL http://www.spaceless.com/concord/. The users can put their materials as data source for concordance program. In addition, the users can refer any URL addresses as data source instead of what concordancer Space Less has.
