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.
