Biography

Mik Fanguy is an educational technology researcher, instructional designer, and invited professor in the English as a Foreign Language Department at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. He received his Master of Arts degree in 2001 at Southern Illinois University, where he doubled majored in English (Rhetoric and Composition) and Linguistics (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages – TESOL). He completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1999 at William Carey University, double majoring in English and History.
Much of his recent research has examined interplay between collaboration and learning. While the benefits of collaboration learning and writing are well known, there is a lack of understanding regarding when collaboration is most helpful, and more specifically, what behaviors and processes the learners should engage in to maximize the educational benefits. To address this gap, he has published a series of studies in which he has examined the specific behaviors and approaches learners engage in when collaborating. In addition, he has collaborated with computer scientists to create new software to facilitate online collaborative writing and the collection of learning analytics from those assignments.
