This page lists the people currently involved in the project, and provides some background information, especially with respect to their involvement in the project. The ordering is alphabetical.

Joseph Bergin
Joseph (Joe) Bergin is professor of computer science at Pace University in New York City. His career has been spent almost entirely teaching small classes in a traditional university environment, though he now uses technology extensively in all his courses. He also teaches some hybrid courses that meet a few times and carry on extensively in cyberspace using simple communication tools. Unlike Jutta, he has had no formal training in teaching itself. Thirty years of trial and (much) error has been the necessary crucible.
