In 1975 I joined the Computers in the Curriculum Project at Chelsea College, University of London. This was a national, highly innovative project to develop computer-based learning curricula for teaching science at university and senior high school.
I then moved to the Open University (OU) where I started working on my Ph.D. part-time in 1980 while working full-time for the university. In 1985 I gained my Ph.D. and I was awarded immediate tenure at the Open University, which was an unusual honor.
In 1994 I became Research Professor of Information Systems and Director of the Research Center for People and Systems Interaction at South Bank University in London. In 1996 I moved to the USA and then became Chair of Information Systems at University of Maryland Baltimore County for five and a half years. During this time we more than doubled the number of faculty members, revised our programs, developed a distance Masters program and increased our research productivity considerably.
After completing my Ph.D. in 1985 my research focused on information systems, computer-mediated communication, human-computer interaction, distance education, and online communities. My current research is concerned with the design and management of online communities. I work with communities of practice, health, education, non-profit and knowledge communities and I am about to start work on an NSF-funded project to develop cross-cultural children’s online book communities.
My research addresses questions concerned with sociability and usability in online communities. I focus on three main research areas: (i) knowledge exchange, empathy, trust, and etiquette online; (ii) why and how people participate, or do not participate; and (iii) heuristics and methods for developing, maintaining and evaluating online communities.

This book was a leading text in HCI
until Interaction Design was published in 2002. In the October 1994 issue of the
SIGCHI Bulletin, Gary Perlman said in his review: "Preece et al. have done
for HCI what Pressman and Sommerville did for software engineering in their
widely used textbooks: they have digested the research and practice and
presented the material in a pedagogically sound manner. ... it is the first
[book] that fits the billing of a good textbook for graduate and undergraduate
use." p. 82. Seven years later in a review of the top ten HCI books on
Amazon Perlman still rated this book as number 8 with the comment “the first real
textbook in HCI - still useful”.
