Professor of English

Joseph M. Moxley

- Founder, Writing Commons

Summary

Joseph M. Moxley, Ph.D., is the founder of Writing Commons and a professor of English at the University of South Florida (USF).

Although Professor Moxley created and manages Writing Commons independently, he has completed the necessary outside activities report in accordance with USF policies, and the university has formally acknowledged his ownership of the project. While USF is aware of Professor Moxley’s involvement with Writing Commons, the project is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by the university.

For Professor Moxley, Writing Commons is an exploration of

  • the affordances and constraints of digital tools for writers.
  • authorship, agency, and self publication (Moxley 2013, June 17; Vieregge et al. 2012)
  • commons-based peer production (Benkler 2006; Vieregge et al. 2012)
  • open education, copyright, and intellectual property (Moxley 2013).

Professor Moxley has written, coauthored, or edited numerous works, including a novel, 14 nonfiction books, and 37 articles in peer-reviewed journals. His contributions also include chapters in edited collections, short stories, poems, and conference articles, as well as an op-ed and a book review. His work has been recognized with the Distinguished Book Award from Computers and Composition, and the John Lovas Award from Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy for his open education project, Writing Commons. His books have been translated into Greek, Spanish, French, and Chinese. 

Additionally, as an act of public service, Moxley has self-published numerous articles at Writing Commons, an open education resource (OER) designed to support writing teachers, students, professional writers, and the broader public. The project, which provides free and accessible content on writing, has been accessed by over 15 million users worldwide, making a significant contribution to the democratization of knowledge and education.

Moxley’s scholarship and research spans a wide range of topics, including agency, datagogies, corpus linguistics and big data, composing, writing pedagogy, learning communities, assessment, writing analytics, peer production and participatory learning, open education, scholarly publishing, electronic theses and dissertations, ethnography, and research methodologies.

Moxley has been awarded grants from NSF ICORPS, NSF PRIME, NSF SBIR, and the Department of Education (FIPSE) for his research. His contributions to educational technology were also recognized through the Microsoft Scholar Award, which included a $55,000 gift and a $50,000 in-kind contribution from Microsoft Corporation.
