Since 2008 I have served as an instructor in the LEEP (distance learning) program at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My course is entitled Introduction to Document Processing and focuses on XML-based technologies for documentary applications.

Since 1995 I have taught courses on electronic publishing, concentrating on SGML and XML concepts, syntax, and technologies, to a broad range of audiences, including for client organizations, at industry and academic conferences and events, and as part of my work at Mulberry Technologies, Inc.

In the Department of English Languages and Literature at Rutgers University from 1985 to 1997, I taught a variety of courses including Expository Writing, Advanced Expository Writing, Principles of Literary Study, Romantic Literature and Victorian Literature.
