Author & College Instructor
Higher Education
Lisa M.
Russell
Greater Atlanta Area
I love words. Words can be designed to sell, to teach, and to connect with the appropriate audience at the perfect time. Every position in my career has involved writing and teaching because I am passionate about both.
As an instructional designer, consultant, and university instructor, I am able to combine my skills and deliver the right message, to the right people, at the right time. In addition, applying what I know about writing online makes me a digital rhetorician. I am able to make words do things online. I speak on these issues to students and instructional designers.
Enterprising and forward-thinking best describes the way I work. I attempt to make every instructional design project and each lesson a unique creation. When speaking to groups, I begin with "Why?" so they will leave asking, "Why Not?"
My passion is teaching, but for fun I like to create instructional course ware. I am always looking for great projects needing an innovative instructor or instructional designer.

Instructional Designer/Professional Writer
Russellink is a culmination of all my skills. I do consulting and contract work for companies needing instructional design and professionally written content. I use various instructional strategies and digital modalities to build transformational learning modules. Training in the digital age must be transferable by helping learners "navigate" instead of "regurgitate" knowledge. Services: Training design, content strategy and creation, learning scripts for video and audio, graphic design, visual and digital rhetoric consultation.

Game On Gwinnett
Gwinnett Business Chronicle
In 2006, the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce began a five-year strategic plan to bring 60,000 jobs to Gwinnett County as part of Partnership Gwinnett. That was life before the economic collapse. Almost five years later, instead of abandoning this ambitious plan to attract jobs to Gwinnett, alternative strategies are adapted to the new economic reality with the Chamber’s new Partnership Gwinnett 2.0.

Digital Rhetoric: Doing Things with Words Online
Masters Thesis in Digital Commons of KSU
It is through rhetorical principles applied to digital writing that online writers can be heard above the din confronting weary online browsers. The synergy between classical rhetoric and new media practices leads to persuasive and memorable digital writing. Despite the hurried clip and the complex nature of technology, grounding writing in firm rhetorical concepts can produce compelling online content. The purpose of this capstone project is to teach specific audiences how to do things with words online through a series of three modules whose unifying themes include the broad topics of targeting niche audiences, persuasive writing, and using the digital medium of communications.

Underwater Ghost Towns of North Georgia
History Press
North Georgia has more than forty lakes, and not one is natural. The state's controversial decision to dam the region's rivers for power and water supply changed the landscape forever. Lost communities, forgotten crossroads, dissolving racetracks and even entire towns disappeared, with remnants occasionally peeking up from the depths during times of extreme drought. The creation of Lake Lanier displaced more than seven hundred families. During the construction of Lake Chatuge, busloads of schoolboys were brought in to help disinter graves for the community's cemetery relocation. Contractors clearing land for the development of Lake Hartwell met with seventy-eight-year-old Eliza Brock wielding a shotgun and warning the men off her property. Lisa Russell dives into the history hidden beneath North Georgia's lakes.
