Bruce Maylath, professor of English, has published two chapters in the book, “Designing Globally Networked Learning Environments,” and an article in the journal, Programmatic Perspectives.

The book’s fourth chapter, “Growing Grassroots Partnerships: Trans-Atlantic Collaboration between American Instructors and Students of Technical Writing and European Instructors and Students of Translation,” is written by Maylath, Birthe Mousten of Aarhus University in Denmark and Sonia Vandepitte of University College Ghent in Belgium. They describe not only the operations of the collaborative projects that they conduct with their own linked classes, but also those with universities in Austria, France and Italy.

In the book’s ninth chapter, “Intercultural Collaboration in the Trans-Atlantic Project: Pedagogical Theories and Practices in Teaching Procedural Instructions Across Cultural Contexts,” Maylath, Mousten and Vandepitte provide the theoretical underpinnings that promote learning among their students when linked in documentation projects.

Programmatic Perspectives is the official, refereed journal of the Council for Programs in Technical and Scientific Communication (CPTSC). For its March 2009 issue, Maylath and Jeff Grabill of Michigan State University wrote “CPTSC at 35 Years: A Sequel and Perspective.” Maylath and Grabill served as the council’s 13th and 14th presidents, respectively.
