Curriculum Development
-
In cooperation with Prof. Jacqueline Marino, Paul is developing a course on Web Programming for Multimedia Journalism to be taught jointly by Computer Science and Journalism and Mass Communication. A first offering of this course is targeted for Spring 2011.
-
Together with Prof. Sanda Katila of VCD, Paul has developed an interdisciplinary minor in Web Design and Programming. The minor has been approved in August 2003 for CS and VCD majors.
Coauthoring with Sanda Katila of Visual Communication Design, Paul has written and published a textbook, An Introduction to Web Design and Programming that is used to teach a core course in this minor.
