masters and
doctoral program, and during the period of the development and guest
editing
of this experimental Web issue of the Journal of Research on
Computing in
Education, she accepted a three-year position as editor of the
paper version
that journal. Dr. McGrath's research interests include whether and how
learners
use hypermedia and other cognitive tools for their intentional
learning. She
is also committed to the use of technology in the service of equity
and of the
environment. (Address: College of Education, 363 Bluemont Hall, Kansas
