New Media Designer
M.A. in Communication, Culture, and Technology; Georgetown University
After working as a designer, developer and information architect in higher education, Rob focused on his desires to build applications that would directly benefit the classroom environment. His main area of focus involves integrating development, XHTML/CSS, and interface design concepts to produce Web sites. Prior to joining CNDLS, Rob was the webmaster at Marymount University, where he worked with a team of two students to create compelling Web packages.
Rob is especially interested in studying social software, particularly blogs and wikis. He recently presented on the use and social implications of student-generated blogs as university admissions tools, and has previously led sessions on content adaptation for the Web, online student media production, and standards-based Web design. He is a graduate student in Georgetown's Communication, Culture and Technology (CCT) program, and enjoys playing volleyball in his spare time.
