Just a quick note that today I began semi-regular posting on Miami’s Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Studies’ (AIMS) blog. Today’s post was just a short introduction to me and what I study, but it’s something. I talk a bit about my interests in studying online communities, design thinking within them, and games:

So, a major thrust of my work is investigating just this: How do these communities work? How can they support and challenge our assumptions of what learning is and what learning could be? How do we better understand the new digital media literacies that are arising with these technologies? As Armstrong Professor, I hope to have conversations on these topics with Miami faculty, students, and community members, and further understand how interactive media, design thinking, and online communities are intertwined in 21st century media spaces. Expect posts from me on this blog covering topics such as learning with “new media,” games and literacy, and the productive nature of online communities.

I’ll be posting there every few weeks on many of the same topics I post about here, albeit probably a little less informally. Feel free to add the AIMS blog to your Google Reader (or whatever you happen to use)!
