Previously, he was an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at Yale University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in 1978. Currently, Professor Soloway’s research interests lie in exploring the roles that computational media can play in self-expression, communication, and learning. He directs the Investigators'  Workshop Project, a joint effort between the Ann Arbor Public Schools and the University of Michigan; the goal of this project is to develop a suite of computational and communication tools that scaffold middle and high schoolers learning science by doing science. Professor Soloway is also Editor of Interactive Learning Environments, a journal devoted to exploring nextgeneration computational and communications technologies for learning and teaching. He is also in great demand as a speaker at meetings and conferences addressing the issue of the infusion of technology into the schools. e-mail
