Recent grad publishes book based on her dissertation


An OSU School of Communication graduate has a forthcoming book from Cambria Press that is based on her dissertation. Juliann Cortese (Ph.D., 2005) was an advisee of Chip Eveland and her book, "Internet Learning and the Building of Knowledge," looks at how design elements such as pop-up windows and hyperlinks influence knowledge structure density as well as definitional and factual knowledge. The book is a great example of one of our former students' successes, but is also relevant to any HCRG members working on new technology, learning, and health information seeking.


You can order the book from Amazon or directly from Cambria Press.
