I'm particularly interested in this topic not only from the perspective
of having to work with students in this area but also to inform my
doctoral studies.
I have particualr views on the conflict between the requirements of
writing for academe and the professional needs of emerging designers.
I have also implemented a project this year which has used Lotus
Learning Space to support student research and writing.
