James M. Hudson

I have recently finished my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. While there, I worked with Amy Bruckman in the Electronic Learning Communities (ELC) research group.

My research focuses on understanding how media influence interaction, so that we can design better technology to support group processes. In particular, I focus on two related questions: How is it that various communication technologies change the ways that we interact with one another? How can we use that knowledge to design new technologies, new interfaces, and new social environments that support desired communication practices? In thinking about how to design technological systems to support communication, my research draws on, and contributes to, many disciplinary areas, including human-computer interaction (HCI), computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), social psychology, computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), and management.
