Collaborative Graduate Thesis Wiki (Part II)
Last month I mentioned that I was interested in using a wiki for my thesis. Not for the purpose of dumping my ideas somewhere on the web, but to invite real participation from the community I’m exploring. At that time, I (1) wondered if this was possible to do at Emerson College and (2) was interested to learn if there were other examples out there on the web.
Since then, I received a comment from an incoming graduate student (who found my blog through a “thesis & wiki” search on the web) at the University of Ottawa who is also interested in this idea of writing a collaborative thesis in wiki form. I also spoke to my thesis advisor who gave me a thumbs up on the project. So, I now have the go ahead from the College to use a wiki to participate collaboratively with others who could share their experience and knowledge for the benefit of the project = very cool.
As I mentioned on the Community Media in Transition blog, Emerson College’s Instructional Technology Group were total rockstars and helped me to not only set-up the wiki but they made it available for anyone who would like to participate.
So, if you are currently or have worked at the intersection of PEG Access TV and new media technologies (web-based platforms) please consider participating in this collaborative graduate research project to share your knowledge.
I’ll also be setting up a new blog (soon) at cmediachange.net where I will be blogging more regularly about the project.
