About the Authors

Susan K. Miller-Cochran, now Director of the Writing Program at The University of Arizona, helped shape the First-Year Writing Program at North Carolina State University while she served as Director from 2007-2015. Before joining the faculty at NC State, she was a faculty member at Mesa Community College (AZ). She received both a Master of Teaching English as a Second Language (MTESL) and a Ph.D. in English, with a concentration in Rhetoric/Composition and Linguistics, from Arizona State University. Dr. Miller-Cochran serves on the Council of Writing Program Administrators, including positions as Vice President and President (2015). Her work focuses on the intersections of technology, second-language writing, and writing program administration. Widely published and a much-sought-after presenter, she is also co-author--with Ann Raimes--of the KEYS FOR WRITING family of handbooks (Cengage Learning).

Rochelle (Shelley) Rodrigo is currently Visiting Professor at The University of Arizona. Previously, she was Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and (New) Media at Old Dominion University. She was a full time faculty member for nine years in English and film studies at Mesa Community College in Arizona. Dr. Rodrigo researches how "newer" technologies better facilitate communicative interactions, more specifically teaching and learning. As well as co-authoring THE CENGAGE GUIDE TO RESEARCH, Shelley was also co-editor of RHETORICALLY RETHINKING USABILITY (Hampton Press). Her work has also appeared in Computers and Composition, Teaching English in the Two-Year College, EDUCAUSE Quarterly, Journal of Advancing Technology, Flow, as well as various edited collections.
