Bourne, et. al Feminism and Education - A Canadian Perspective (2). Toronto: CSWE/OISE Press.〕 In 1987-1989 she developed the online pedagogy and small group discussion methodology which was adopted, after a consultancy with Harasim, by the University of Phoenix.〔Hedegaard-Bishop, T. (1999). “Clearing the Path for Putting Complete Degree Programs Online.” In Wisdom & Wizardry: Celebrating the Pioneers of Online Education, pp. 19-22.〕 Harasim joined the faculty of SFU in 1990 and has been active in studying pedagogical approaches, and developing the theory and research methods associated with Collaborative Learning in online environments.〔http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/1340/2287〕 Her books "Educational Applications of Computer Networks" (1986) and Online Education: Perspectives on a New Environment (1990) were amongst the first in the field.〔http://www.aace.org/conf/edmedia/speakers/2012/harasim.htm〕 In 1993, Harasim, along with Thomas W. Calvert, led a project to develop Virtual-U, a virtual learning environment customized to support collaborative learning.〔http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~fisher/edmed4.pdf#search=%22linda%20harasim%20%20%22virtual%20u%22%20filetype%3Apdf%22\〕 The Virtual-U software was used to support online courses and to prototype new educational social media environments and tools until 2014. It was also used by the Global Educators Network.〔http://vu.cs.sfu.ca/GEN/welcome/welcome.html〕 In 1995 Linda Harasim founded and served as CEO of the TeleLearning Network of Centre of Excellence (TL *NCE) in Canada.〔http://www.synergiescanada.org/journals/synpra/jde/30/300〕 The $50 million project was funded half by the Canadian federal government and half by other public and private sector sources. During its operation (1995-2003) TL *NCE funded hundreds of researchers from 32 universities in Canada and worked with participants from 225 public and private sector organizations.〔Eggins, H.

FinkelStein (editor), Dollars, Distance, And Online Education: The New Economics Of College Teaching and Learning. American Council on Education Oryx Press Series on Higher Education.〕 While CEO of the network Harasim focused her research on 500 online courses which were conducted on Virtual-U, a virtual learning environment customized to support collaborative knowledge construction. While performing this research she collaborated with Carl Bereiter and Marlene Scardamalia to further develop theoretical work in collaborative learning and knowledge building, especially the use of latent semantic analysis of online educational discourse.〔https://www.cs.ubc.ca/wccce/program98/lucio/lucio.html〕 Harasim has been a member of several prestigious boards and committees such as Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.〔http://publications.gc.ca/collections/Collection/CR1-2002E.pdf〕 Harasim currently teaches, publishes and undertakes research in “Understanding Digital Social Media and the Knowledge Society”, “Digital Media Research Methods”, “Online Education” as well as communication and learning theories.〔http://pages.cmns.sfu.ca/linda_harasim/teaching/〕 ==Books== * Harasim, L.
