First PhD Publication

I decided to try and get my research proposal published and was very surprised and pleased to find that I was successful.
The conference was part of the AACE series, called Global TIME (Online Conference on Technology, Innovation, Media & Education) and my paper was a virtual brief paper, probably called a concise paper here in Australia.
I was able to include the development of the questions from phase one in addition to the original proposal and I was able to stress a little more about the design of the online interactive as this fit the conference themes a little better. And I renamed the title to 'the design of a meta-evaluation study.......'

I had to get up at 3am to attend the online conference because it was an American based one and i had to prerecord the presentation (click here for the recording), but this worked really well as i could answer questions on my presentation whilst everyone listed to me rattle on. There were only a few questions but I was able to make contact with another conference attendee who asked to keep in touch as she was very interested in my topic.



Questions:
Manuel Frutos-Perez: some very interesting points Elaine. It's curious that we tend to be quite methodical when we teach our students research skills, but then we don't apply that to our own practice

Stefanie Panke: How do you choose the projects for phase 1?

Manuel Frutos-Perez: have you experienced any resistance to your analysis? I mean, faculty colleagues might tend to think "I know how to do this.."

Stefanie Panke: A few years ago, we looked at evaluation practices in e-learning in the context of experiences very similar to your insitution - namely, there is no "gold standard". Among other things, we did a content analysis of AACE conference proceedings.
