Moving Beyond Blackboard: Using a Social Network as a Learning Management System
Vol. 23 No. 2 (2012): Web 2.0 Technologies at Metropolitan Universities Web 2.0 is a paradigm of a participatory Internet, which has implications for the delivery of online courses. Instructors and students can now develop, distribute, and aggregate content through the use of third-party web applications, particularly social networking platforms, which combine to form a user-created learning management system (LMS). The author discusses how to develop a user-created online LMS using widely available, low-cost web applications. The result of this approach is greater accessibility. |

Using Web 2.0 to Conduct Qualitative Research: A Conceptual Model
In James Conklin and George Hayhoe (Ed.), Qualitative Research in Technical Communication: Perspectives and Techniques Addressing the explosive growth in qualitative research in recent years, this volume represents the first anthology to bring together a representative sample from this growing body of work, and comments on the reasons for the extraordinary interest in qualitative research. Contributors to the volume bring forward reports of significant, structured qualitative research into various aspects of technical communication practice, addressing the questions of what new insights researchers are generating about the working reality of today’s technical communicators, and how technical communicators are perceived and treated by managers and by colleagues from other disciplines. Including examples of qualitative methodologies—including ethnography, case study, focus groups, action research, grounded theory, and interview research— used by technical communicators to strengthen their practice, the result is a rich harmony of perspectives, as diverse as the field of technical communication itself. This book will be of interest to to students and academics seeking up-to-date information on current industry practices in technical communication, as well as to practitioners in technical and professional communication. The book will also serve as a text in undergraduate seminars and courses at the master’s level. |

Using Web 2.0 to Conduct Qualitative Research: Conceptual Model
Vol. 55 No. 4 (2008): Technical Communication Thacker and Dayton argue that Web 2.0, with its ability to enable a variety of ways in which users can interact within virtual worlds, can be used to enhance and strengthen the participative nature of interview-based qualitative research. Their article reports on the development of a conceptual model for an interactive Web site to capture the technical communicator experience of single sourcing and content management through a survey, interviews, and site visits. Their goal is to develop a framework for research conducted on a Web 2.0 platform that can be used to operationalize a qualitative inquiry through the formation of a research community. These communities would be made up of investigators and participants, where the investigators create a structured context for accumulating data, and where all members of the community (researchers and participants alike) have full access to the data. |

Using Web 2.0 to Democratize the Information Economy in Qualitative Research
Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference Web 2.0 refers to a set of innovations in Internet technology that can transform the Web into a participatory medium energized by the desire of people with shared interests to exchange information and opinions. By combining instant web publishing, social networking, user-generated content, and communal tagging, rating, and commenting-all within an easy-to-use content management system-Web 2.0 websites have the potential to increase the richness, dynamism, and influence of qualitative research. To explore this potential, we have developed a conceptual model for a research website designed to collect structured accounts from a targeted group of people about a specific topic. In our case, we plan to collect first-hand reports from technical communicators about their experiences and opinions related to single sourcing and/or content management methods and tools. This paper describes and illustrates the main components of our conceptual model and also touches on some of the challenges we anticipate. In concluding the paper, we report our progress to date in building the site and speculate about possible implications of our model for opening up the information economy of qualitative research in diverse areas, both within academe and within other organizational contexts. |
