NRC 05 Meeting
It looks like 7:00 AM on Thursday (12/1) morning will work. The Indigo Restaurant in the main lobby area also opens at 7 AM so we shouldn't have any trouble getting seats for our group. I'll arrive a few minutes early and see if we can push together some tables in a farther corner of the restaurant.
I propose that our goal for the Thursday morning breakfast be to decide where we want to be in December 2006, how we intend to get there, and what we hope to accomplish before the end of NRC 05 as a first step.
Here are two proposals to get the conversation started:
1. I propose that we develop and submit a (double?) symposium proposal related to our interests in online literacy.
One possibility is to focus on research methodology with papers addressing research design, data collection, and analysis. Topics that might be included are verbal protocols/think alouds, developmental issues (i.e., expert/novice) in online literacy, real-time data electronic collection, visualization techniques, etc. The goal of this session would be to help our colleagues better understand how to go about studying literacy online.
Another possibility that I find attractive focuses on defining larger theoretical frameworks within which studies of online literacy can be grounded. I think we need to put studies simply comparing print to electronic text behind us and get serious about rooting online literacy in well defined theoretical frameworks. The goal of this session would be to begin to articulate a broad but empirically useful framework within which we can talk about research, practice, and pedagogy in online reading environments.
If we're feeling ambitious, we can consider a double symposium that addresses both.
2. I propose that we develop and submit a study group proposal so that we can build on the momentum we establish this year with an even more ambitious agenda at NRC 06.
Perhaps we can discuss our general objectives at the Thursday morning meeting and divide up into groups to work on the objectives we select.
