MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

*In The Network Nation: Human Communication via Computer, co-authored with Murray Turoff in 1978, described the technical and social possibilities for what has become the Internet and the World Wide Web; this book received an award from the Association of American Publishers for the Best Technical- Scientific Publication.

 

*With Murray Turoff, conceived of the possibility of structures and processes to support group decision making and group collaboration within a computer-mediated communication environment, helped to design and conduct some of the first experiments on them (“Computer Support for Group vs. Individual Decisions,” 1982); these are generally now referred to as “Group Decision Support Systems” and “Computer-Supported Cooperative Work” (CSCW”)

 

*Conducted one of the earliest and pioneering longitudinal studies of “Online Communities” ( 1984)

 

*Conceived the possibility of an online “virtual classroom” environment; designed, implemented,  and studied the first version of such a system in 1986-88 and trademarked the name; these are now generally referred to as Learning Management Systems” supporting “Asynchronous Learning Networks” and are being used by hundreds of educational organizations and over 3 million students.

 

Conceived of and created the “WebCenter for Learning Networks Effectiveness Research,” an online knowledge repository and research community to improve the quality, quantity, and dissemination of research on online courses. Contents have now been incorporated into the Sloan Consortium web site.
