Karen Greenberg received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from New York University in 1981. Her research interests include sociolinguistics, stylistics, post-modern controversies in the teaching of writing, and the use of technology to enhance student learning. She has published numerous texts and essays on linguistic approaches to teaching writing and sociolinguistic approaches to conversational analysis, and she has written the instruction for eight academic software programs developed by Academic Systems Corp.. and Plato Learning Inc.
Prof. Greenberg is currently working on on a book-length study of the impact of online social networking on college students' learning processes. This is based on the hypothesis that students who understand that their knowledge is socially constructed can benefit immensely from the integration of social networking into their learning process.
For the past eight years, Prof. Greenberg has served as the CUNY-wide Faculty Blackboard Trainer; recently she created CUNY's and Hunter's online Faculty Resource Site For Teaching with Blackboard. She is currently helping faculty in the Graduate Center and the Online Baccalaureate Degree Program learn how to use Blackboard to help students improve their writing and research skills, and she is the lead faculty member designing CUNY’s Academic Commons (the CUNY faculty portal for teaching and learning with technology).
