Research interests:
I'm interested in invention insofar as it intersects with technology,
rather along the lines that Greg Ulmer sets forth in his book Heuretics.
I'm interested in invention as it manifests itself in postmodern thought
as the rudiments of posthumanism. And in turning my oblique thoughts and
guesses into more concrete formats...
Current projects:
Project Baudrillard
I'm also working on a CCCC presentation which seeks to re-invent the
notion of presentation and delivery--it's part of a larger project
bringing together postmodern invention and multimedia.

Research interests:
I have worked on cybertutoring projects (synchronous OWLs, and virtual
classrooms and conferencing) for two years. I currently opporate a real
time writing conference space on DaedalusMOO called The BallState Writers
Workshop, and I'm particularly interested in the metacognitive reflection
that MOO and e-mail discussion promotes in students' thinking and learning
about their writing.
Current projects:
I am also co-teaching a
Composition 1 Course on the WWW this summer
and we incorporate several computer mediated media
as our class progresses.
