As an Associate Professor at Virginia Tech, I have been teaching online since 1996, both as the sole instructor of a course and with other instructors in collaborative enterprises. My academic expertise is in medieval literature and Shakespeare, with a PhD from Cornell University in 1987. My online teaching experience includes courses in Speculative Fiction, Detective Fiction, and the Survey of English Literature. I am currently engaged in research about using wikis as a collaborative means of teaching, and I am supporting that research by using wikis in my own classes in Scholar.

Karen has been working with faculty at UC Berkeley for six years, exploring different ways to use technology to support undergraduate education. During this time, she has worked with instructors to design a variety of solutions. Some of the most interesting enable students to share online journals, facilitate group research, and provide an opportunity for students to "publish" their work.
