Publications in Educational/Instructional Technology:

I  am continuing to research this topic. Educational/Instructional Technology (E/IT) and related faculty at

most universities are expected to fulfill many roles, the primary ones being teaching, research, and service,

with teaching being the most visible. Conducting and evaluating research, as well as publishing scholarly works,

all play a prominent role for most of us, as we heavily depend upon publications to provide personal update

and to provide ideas for daily instruction and service work. However, the most prominent role of scholarly

publishing is that of a tool for faculty evaluation. This study compares the way journals are valued.
 

Communication Expectations Among Students and Faculty:

Both students and faculty have certain communication expectations, but has this changed as we progress into the

electronic culture? With traditional classes, accessibility has often meant having scheduled office hours. What

kind of changes should there be with online classes, and with the new technologies do students hold faculty to

greater accessibility? These are areas that I am very much interested in and am currently researching.
