From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is James Lipuma and I am a professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) located in Newark New Jersey. I teach a variety of courses but use Wikipedia as part of my assignments in the Technical Communications course I coordinate as well as in the Teacher Education Program at my university in conjunction with Rutgers University-Newark..

I hold a BS in Chemical engineering from Stanford University, a MS in Environmental Policy Studies and a PhD in Environmental Science from NJIT and am about to complete my post doctoral EdM in curriculum and teaching with a focus on Science Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. My most recent work focuses on curricular design and evaluation but I have completed projects for a wide range of disciplines in architecture, engineering, and management.

I have been using Wikipedia as a teaching tool in my technical Communication classes for three years and the project is continually evolving as part of my university’s commitment to improve students’ Information Literacy and Learning.
