Co-editor of Academic ‘Handbook’
Handbook entitled The Handbook of Visual Languages for Instructional Design
Description: Together with Luca Botturi from the University of Lugano, Switzerland, I helped edit the nearly 500-page Handbook of Visual Languages for Instructional Design: Theories and Practices published by Information Science Reference of Hershey, New York.
My Roles/Contributions: Because the native language of many of the contributors was not English, I not only had to edit for content relative to the academic subject matter, but make many recommendations to turn non-idiomatic English writing into something comprehensible to American and British readers. This was particularly important since my co-editor, Luca Botturi, was also a non-native English speaker (an Italian teaching in Switzerland, though his English is excellent!).
Contributors included scholars from Australia; Austria; France; Germany; the Netherlands; Quebec, Canada; Spain; Switzerland; and the United States.
