Editorial Board

The Editorial Board (with membership from Canada, Finland, USA, Brazil, Australia and Sweden: Amaury Paulo De Souza, Dirk Jaeger, Esko Mikkonen, John Sessions, Kevin Boston, Loren Kellogg, Luc Lebel, Mark Brown, Reino Pulkki, Staffan Berg and Ted Robak) is responsible for overall editorial direction and oversight for the project. Several of these Editorial Board members are also Content Managers. The initial Chief Editor and Project Manager, Ted Robak, is responsible for managing the overall book development and editorial processes, as well as making sure that communication is flowing appropriately (so that the right amount of information gets to the right people).  For general information about or to provide suggestions for this project, contact Robak@unb.ca or ChiefEditor@ForestOperations.org.

Jasen Golding and Jeff Benjamin are Assistant Editors, with initial specific responsibilities for a) researching and recommending ancillary technologies and methods as they relate to on-line teaching and b) identifying/acquiring specific existing content, including researching and advising concerning copyright issues.

Content Managers

Content Groups

Content Groups (and Sub-Groups) define themes and structure for particular parts of the book (subject to oversight by the Editorial Board), and identify appropriate Content Contributors.  The names of current group members can be found in the attached document.

Content Contributors

Content Contributors are people who write or identify and acquire content material and other resources for the book. They would usually be part of content groups, but in some cases might be “contracted” by a Content Group to produce content.

Technical and Publishing Support

The Technical Support and Publishing team consists of Jason Nugent, Lisa Charlong, Erik Moore, and Jennifer Whitney of the Electroninc Text Centre at UNB Libraries.
