Multilitteratus Incognitus
Traversing the path of the doctoral degree
end of mobiMOOC, and other writing
19-05-2011, 17:40 articles, mobiMOOC, writing PermalinkMobiMOOC ended last week, but the list is still going, much to my surprise! Granted it's not as active as it was before when it was in session, but a bunch of us interested people do continue to contribute - as a matter of fact we're planning on co-authoring a collaborative paper on the whole thing! I don't really know what the progress of that will be since I am not the team leader on it, but I do look forward to collaborating with all the awesome people I met on mobiMOOC.
On the Digital Natives article front, I was finally able to finish the rough draft (yay!) It's about 4000 words long (without the bibliography!) which I think might be a bit long for most journals. Now I just have to proof read it, edit it, and then decide which journal I want to submit it it. My preference would be an Open Access Journal so that it is available for free. Once I figure out where to submit it, I can work on proper formatting of references and bibliography.
Do you happen to have any ideas for journals to submit a ten year review of digital natives?

Academic Stagnation?
06-05-2011, 17:30 metaMOOC, mobiMOOC, research, stagnation, writing PermalinkIt's been about a month since I finished reading all the books, articles, news-items and non-print media items for my research on Digital Natives
. I also went through and I classified everything, took notes and in general just got prepared to write, but I have not done so. Part of it is that I can't bear to rehash the sheer amount of bullshit and "common wisdom" that's been mindlessly reproduced by some scholars, even if this rehashing is so that I can disprove the concept of the digital native. I've did make some headway this week in completing a draft of the introduction which sets the pace for the article, but I need to whip myself into shape and get this article going! :-) Perhaps this is something to undertake this weekend. I guess the silver lining here is that in stagnating in this project I was able to read Noam Chomsky's Failed States
(awesome book by the way), Catch-22
(another great book), Microserfs
and I am finishing off Marshall McLuhan: You know nothing of my work
- so I guess I wasn't totally stagnant ;-)
In other news, mobiMOOC is getting close to wrapping up. Some pretty interesting concepts have cropped up in mLearning, knowledge that will certainly help at least one of my friends and colleagues in her work and a base for me to continue to expand my knowledge in mLearning. Another idea that has come up is that of the metaMOOC - a MOOC about MOOCs. Considering that I would like to use a MOOC in my PhD project, I'd like to start thinking about the pedagogical underpinnings of MOOCs, their orientation, biases and comparisons with other modes of teaching. Getting this work done in advance of starting a PhD, while quite ambitious and TOO forward thinking, might help in shortening how much time a PhD program take to complete :-)
