I'm not printing it, Tony. I'm submitting the wiki as is - electronically. That's kind of the point.<BR/><BR/>Think about it this way: if I was a music composition student, my final submission would take the form of a performed piece of music. If I were an art student, my final submission might be a 6 metre sculpture of an eyeball.<BR/><BR/>Since I am focusing on social media, why should I not submit it in the medium being studied? My supervisor, to his credit, agrees, but we had to track down a primary marker who was prepared to take on the challenge (my supervisor takes the role of secondary marker).<BR/><BR/>But it has to be my own work. So, in answer to your question "You can't open it up? What's the dividing line?" I can quote/cite other people. I can review other people's material, but they can't contribute directly to the finished piece or they become co-authors. Since a wiki is a community authored asset, my dissertation is going to be a bit grey in the sense that I will create a closed wiki to which only I have authoring rights.<BR/><BR/>Once it's over and done, though - if I'm not too thoroughly ashamed of it - I reckon I'll open it up and let it become what it's supposed to be - a shared resource where everyone can add their own perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-39424541822484362782008-05-17T21:31:00.000-07:002008-05-17T21:31:00.000-07:00Kia Ora Tony.Changed days; when I did my thesis th...Kia Ora Tony.<BR/><BR/>Changed days; when I did my thesis there was no option but to submit the scribblings to a typist and pay for it to be typed, duplicated (Xeroxed then) and heavily bound so you could use the things as door-stops.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, doing a PhD thesis as a wiki in Organic Chemistry might prove a tad problematic even today. The idea sound exciting though!<BR/><BR/>Ka kiteBlogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-87289421691523360322008-05-17T12:34:00.000-07:002008-05-17T12:34:00.000-07:00Hey Tony,Thanks for passing that on.

However, I'm afraid I'm not as brave as Karyn as our IRB has only just come up with protocols for using technology in our research!<BR/><BR/>Maybe once I have that degree in my hand I will try writing my research with a wiki (publicly).V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.com
