Short Bio:
Amy Bruckman is an Associate Professor in the School of Interactive
Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She and her
students in the Electronic Learning Communities (ELC) research group
do research on online communities and education. In the Science
Online project, she is exploring how students can learn about science
by writing about it online. She is also exploring how Wikipedia
actually works, conducting empirical studies of regular contributors,
administrators, participants in WikiProject subgroups, and people
banned from Wikipedia. Her research on leadership in creative
collaboration online explores how people can collaborate across
distance on projects where the goal state is initially only partially
described. Amy and her students are creating tools both to support
existing creative collaborative practice by scaffolding the work of
leaders, and also to try to transform that practice by making a more
improvisational style of collaboration possible. She is a member of
the "Georgia Computes!" Broadening Participation in Computing
Alliance. As part of this alliance, she is teaching teens who love
hanging out online to design their own online communities, and
teaching teens who love games to become game testers. In both cases,
the goal is to build on their current interests to inspire an interest
in computing education. Amy is interested in ethical issues in
Internet research, and was a member of working groups on this topic
organized by AAAS, AoIR, and APA. Amy received her PhD from the MIT
Media Lab's Epistemology and Learning group in 1997, her MSVS from the
Media Lab's Interactive Cinema Group in 1991, and her BA in physics
from Harvard University in 1987. In 1999, she was named one of the
100 top young innovators in science and technology in the world
(TR100) by Technology Review magazine. In 2002, she was awarded the
Jan Hawkins Award for Early Career Contributions to Humanistic
Research and Scholarship in Learning Technologies. More information
