I teach in the Department of Communication, Digital Media Program. I began teaching web-related courses in 1998; from spring 2001 - summer 2003, I taught interface design, web design, and other web courses at Seattle Central Community College.

Personal Experience

Research Interests
As a Senior Lecturer, my focus is on teaching. However, my research interests include the study of human-computer interaction in the context of digital media.

I am also interested in social interaction and their enabling technologies -- blogs, podcasts, RSS, social news, wikis. I am specifically interested in the impact of these changes on the news media and politics.

Blogs
At WiredPen, I explore the world of convergence. I also write about politics at About.com

NCA Podcast
Podcasting As Active Learning: My 8 minute presentation at NCA, San Antonio, on experimenting with podcasting as a learning tool in COM300, Spring 2006, at the University of Washington.

When I'm Not At The Keyboard
My other passion is motorcycles -- I own three, as well as one vintage scooter. I teach newbies how to ride as a contractor with the Evergreen Safety Council; I am a mentor instructor for their Motorcycle Safety Program.
