Special Multi-Journal Collaborative Issue Released

The editors of Academic.Writing, CCC Online, Enculturation, Kairos, and The Writing Instructor are pleased to announce a special, multi-journal issue on "Electronic Publication." Collaboration on this scale is fairly rare across journals; we think you'll find that it has paid off here as we offer 11 new articles, hypertexts, and presentations. Our introduction features ten short essays on "Facing the Future of Electronic Publishing."

An Anthropologist Studies Universities' Approaches to Distance Education

An interview with Diane Harley is available in the free section of the Chronical of Higher Education:

Diane Harley is the director of the Higher Education in the Digital Age project at the Center for Studies in Higher Education at the University of California at Berkeley. For the past decade, she has been applying her background in anthropology to the study of instructional technology.

Recently, she received a $50,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to lead a team that will compare models used by universities to create, finance, and disseminate online education. The title of the project is "University Teaching as E-Business: Research and Policy Agendas."
