I guess my official position is "Developer, Learning Commons, University of Calgary" The Learning Commons produces the CAREO repository, as well as the ALOHA metadata tools (I'm the primary programmer on CAREO with one other part time contributor, and there are a few others working on ALOHA).

Thanks D'Arcy...change made.

Yep, I work for Blackboard, though my weblog is a personal space to explore my own educational interests, not a professional pursuit. Usual disclaimers apply.

Before I went to work on the commercial side of things, I worked in (and for a short time was acting director of) the Learning Technologies department at Gallaudet University (the university for the deaf and hard-of-hearing). Before that I taught English at a couple different universities, and did a lot of work with integrating technology into the writing curriculum.

All of which reminds me, I need to update an "About" page on my site... :-/

Thanks Greg, Will (changes made)...and Scott - I've added your blog (thanks!)

My current position is as the Director of Instructional Technology for the College of Arts & Sciences at UNC Charlotte. I also teach Japanese in the Languages & Culture Studies Department. I, too, need to add more 'about' info to my weblog...

My "Literacy Weblog" focuses on technical literacy as well as traditional literacy. I'm one of the presetners at the upcoming BlogTalk conference in May, and I also wrote the "blurbs" article that you linked to recently. I've recently been hired to teach New Media Journalism at Seton Hill University, and when I've moved my blog there I hope you'll help me publicize the new address. Thanks for this excellent resource!

Posted by: Dennis G. Jerz at April 21, 2003 5:55 PM

Hi Dennis...thanks for the link. I've added your blog. Sure, by all means, forward your new address once you've moved your blog.

George

This is the more permanent link through to my current blog. I'm Instructional Designer at the Centre for Applied Researh in Educational Technology at Cambridge University.
This is a timely effort - thanks

Posted by: Rhiannon Williams at April 22, 2003 5:49 AM

Addition: my position is "Member of scientific staff".

Posted by: Lilia Efimova at April 23, 2003 3:39 AM

After reading the comments I thought that it could be good to add something like "usual disclaimers apply" in the introduction of this list as not everyone associates their weblog with formal employment.

Posted by: Lilia Efimova at April 23, 2003 3:59 AM

Please feel free to add my blog as well! I am an Instructional Development Specialist at Ohio State University. This is great - thanks so much...

Just realized that Alan Levine isn't on the list.

He's my counterpart at Maricopa, developing the Maricopa Learning Exchange (MLX).

ack - it's late, ok?

blog is elearning
http://radio.weblogs.com/0110222/categories/eLearning

Relatively new, mostly just cross-posting now but original content will start soon.

Posted by: Bill Brandon at May 4, 2003 11:35 PM

Hi George,
A bit late coming in here...
We use our SideBars blog
space as a messy area to help develop the content for our online newsletter.
It's our less public side, but it lives on the web for all to see nonetheless
and has a bandaid RSS feed, kind of like having the door to the meeting room opened.

My name is Anne Davis. I work at Georgia State University in the Instructional Technology Center in the College of Education. I work with faculty, staff, and students in the area of instructional technology. This EduBlog is a place to reflect, discuss, and explore possibilities for the use of weblogs in education.

Posted by: Anne Davis at May 12, 2003 10:51 AM

I've recently started a blog with daily original content on the topic of Transnational Education -- it gets into the pedagogy side (including research findings) as well as the policy side (exporting the DMCA, impact of the GATS etc.)

Posted by: Tom Nickel at May 15, 2003 10:48 AM
