report
Dr. Brad Cox http://virtualschool.edu
Dr. Cox recently resigned from his position
as a faculty member of the George Mason University Program on Social and
Organizational Learning (PSOL) in order to pursue interests in distance
education and digital commerce more effectively.
PSOL is an interdisciplinary department that
concentrates on overcoming socioeeconomic and technical obstacles to change,
development and learning as firms transition to a global information-intensive
economy. His educational interests
are in applying internet, television, and groupware technology to expedite
experiential and collaborative learning experiences in the academy, the
home, the workplace and the world.
His courses include Taming the Electronic
Frontier, Internet Literacy, and Advanced Object Technology. All involve
distance education. He is presently developing a new course, Computational
Modeling of Social Learning to explore agent-based simulations inspired
by Michael Rothschild's book, Bionomics and work at the Santa Fe Institute
and elsewhere.
He authored Object-oriented Programming, An
Evolutionary Approach, a book that is generally credited with launching
today's industry-wide enthusiasm for object technology. He has recently
completed a second book, Superdistribution: Objects as Property on the
Electronic Frontier, which proposes superdistribution as a technosocial
solution to the problematics of buying, selling and owning property made
of bits as distinct from the atoms from which goods have been composed
since antiquity.
He founded the Coalition for Electronic Markets
whose objective is to build and deploy a nationwide revenue collection
infrastructure for commerce in electronic goods. He cofounded the Stepstone
Corporation where he originated the Objective-C[TM] programming language
and Software-IC[TM] libraries. At Schlumberger-Doll Research, he applied
artificial intelligence, object-oriented, Unix, and workstation technologies
to oil field wireline services.
At the Programming Technology Center at ITT,
he applied Unix and object-oriented technologies in support of the development
of a large, highly distributed telephone switching system, System 1240.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago for theoretical and
experimental work in neurophysiology in an area that has since become
known as neural networks. His post-graduate experimental studies were
at the National Institutes of Health and at the Woods Hole Marine Biological
Laboratories.
