Lisa’s Adventures in School

This blog is intended to document my journey through school. I’m in the process of applying to the doctorate program in Communications Design at the University of Baltimore Information Arts and Technologies Department. I’ve already spent a ton of time in graduate school while working on a PhD at Georgetown University in Computational Linguistics (I’d written about 150 pages toward my dissertation when I lost momentum and became more interested in web technologies). The Baltimore program is an applied doctorate and focuses on the art and practice of Communications and Interaction Design and is definitely more aligned with my current interests and career path. My first course is one in Interactive Multimedia taught by Kathleen Harmeyer. It’s really a Flash 8 programming course, from my perspective. In any case, I will be documenting what I learn as I learn it. This blog should slowly transform and take on more character as I have time to modify it. Meanwhile, you can always visit my K9 SAR blog…
