Areas of Professional Interest

I'm specially interested in computer-assisted language learning, multimedia, software development and evaluation, world-wide web for language education

Et Cetera

I've been working at Ohio University since 1985; before that, I'd spent two years at the University of Kansas and another seven at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland. I got into language teaching rather by accident; my first love was painting, my undergraduate degree was in fine arts, and my first job within the field was as an illustrator of language lessons.

I was OPIE's Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) Coordinator for many years and was the manager of the this site. I was also president of the Athens, Ohio Macintosh Users' Group.

Other interests

French language, film, photography, painting, basketball, petanque, music, my family, and exercise
