Importance of a Communication Focus: I bring a focus on the dynamics of human communication to the study and the design of communication and information technologies. Specializing in group communication in engineering and computer science, and in integrating new technologies into learning contexts.

Founder and director of the ASSETT program, which develops initiatives to use technology to support teaching and learning for CU’s College of Arts & Sciences. 

I have long ago come to terms with the fact that digital communication technologies tend to not stick around for very long in any one form, even when they seemed like good ideas at the time.  For the past several years, I have focused on (1) design of applications to motivate collaboration, (2) interrogating the social function of determinism in organizations and groups, and (3) theorizing how we socially construct communication within a technologically-induced context of indeterminacy and change.  http://comm.colorado.edu/jackson.
