Research

My work in writing pedagogy and assessment informs my research and I have been active in the fields of digital rhetoric and ePortfolio. I was a member of the UGA research team that participated in Cohort VI of the Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research. We conducted research on e-portfolios from the First-Year Composition and Writing Certificate Programs to better understand how outcomes for written communication continue and change between first-year and capstone writing experiences. I was asked to join Nedra Reynolds as co-author on the third editions of Portfolio Keeping: A Guide for Students and Portfolio Teaching: A Guide for Instructors by editors at Bedford/St. Martin's press. My publications range from my work with capstone ePortfolios, to archives-based pedagogy, the institutional history of ePortfolios at UGA, and spatial innovation in rhetoric and writing.
