I am responsible for all twenty sites (soon to be twenty-plus) listed on this page; I also designed the "cube" logo for the English department/Writing Program. This page gives a quick overview of my Web design, maintenance, and management work for Rutgers English/Writing Program.

Perhaps my biggest contribution as Director of Instructional Technology for the Rutgers Writing Program—as well as my primary responsibility—is the program Web site. The site is based on a student-centered, content-driven model and has become the centerpiece of the program's pedagogical use of technology. Though the site was created through the work of many people, I have generated content for many sections, have refined the design, and have lead its development since its launch in fall 2000.

One of my latest projects has been the redesign of the Web site for the English department. This site presented particular design challenges, since it is really five sites at once: undergraduate, graduate, alumni, business, and faculty/staff. Working with my Web development team, we decided on a portal-style design for the site to provide maximum access to content from the very start; the various sub-sites mirror the main design but are also color-branded to provide identity.

GetIT, or Gaining Experience Teaching with Instructional Technology, was launched to provide a central Web location for our instructors to find resources for teaching with technology. The site has a large FAQ section, tutorials, and the same class activity collection found in Things that Work with Technology. Although I did not generate all of the content, I oversaw the design, construction, and population of the site.

This flash movie was created for the grand opening of the Plangere Writing Center on the College Avenue campus of Rutgers University. It was designed as an executable Flash "projector" so that we could burn it onto mini-cd to be handed out to people attending the opening.

After hearing about the amount of traffic we were receiving on our homepage, Hewlett-Packard approach our program about a grant possibility. I produced this presentation with that in mind. This is one of my first productions in Flash.

Originally presented at the Watson Conference 2002 and then adapted for the Web and submitted to Kairos. In this Flash-based essay I explore the identity of the I.T. specialist in a writing program, arguing that these academics uniquely risk having their identities collapsed into technology because of the lack of universalized technological literacy in writing programs.

Published in Computers and Composition Online, Spring 2004. In this Flash-based essay I explore a number of methods available for assessing the success of a pedagogically oriented writing program Web site. Ultimately I argue that these methods must be combined into a multi-modal assessment.

Computers and Composition Online, Spring 2003. A generalized introduction to using blogs in the classroom. The site is composed in HTML.

Other samples of my New media work and scholarship are available but are too large to be hosted on this Web site. These other works include a prototype for an interactive tutorial for expository writing students created with Macromedia's Director and based on a video game metaphor as well as a tutorial CD-ROM produced for expository writing students at Rutgers. If you're interested in these works or more samples of my New Media productions, please contact me.
