Welcome to the Inquiry Seminar II community writing space. Here you should feel free to post your ideas and questions about your research projects or the projects of others, as well as the research you’re examining in the context of your study. My role in the next three weeks is to serve as your “project advisor” while you engage in independent self-directed study, individually or in groups. You’ll find the tentative course syllabus here.
Our primary tasks for 3 and 4 January are as follows:
- post your project title and project group on the wiki project page (ideally, groups should be 3-5 people);
- orient yourself to this blog (login to UBC Blogs and make sure EDUC 451 appears as one of your available blogs);
- post your draft proposal to the blog as your first submission today if possible (remember, this need only be a draft: you may revise the draft as many times as necessary between today and tomorrow in response to feedback, etc);
- review the proposals of others on the blog and comment (give feedback, offer suggestions and links to resources);
- go to CiteULike and orient yourself to that tool if you have time;
- send me an image that somehow represents you (not too large, please), and also add your name and email to the appropriate wiki page
By way of introduction, you’ll find a little about my research interests here. My research projects currently are in literary education, digital literacy, and digital humanities. When I’m not working I spend time raising my two sons, aged 8 and 12, and participating in outdoor activities (on the ocean or in the hills). I look forward to working with you through the next weeks!
