- Short Biography
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.
