My research interests focus mainly around the behavioral issues related to the use of collaboration technologies for group work. I have studied how students and managers accept and use various electronic collaboration technologies for completing group work, focusing specifically on the use of email and videoconferencing. In several studies I have completed, I examined how effectively the more recently developed communication technologies can be used for teamwork. With my colleagues, I designed and developed an instrument for measuring the media richness of the various technologies. Most recently, we are in the process of studying how electronic communication tools support cross-cultural group work.
I have also worked on the education side of research, examining how various electronic tools can help students to learn better, both in a face-to-face class setting as well as in an online format. I have designed various electronic tools to help students more easily learn about such concepts as linear programming, project management and other Operations Management tools and techniques. I have also compared the learning of my online students to that of my face-to-face students by looking at learning styles, majors and various other variables.
