Tinkering with research questions

I’m felling pleased with myself, as I’ve managed to knock together 5000 words, which looks like a first draft of half of my literature review. It’s full of holes, and it misses out the really difficult areas (learning theory and various discourse analysis views on identity) but I can see that it might all fit together eventually.

As a result, I’ve tinkered with my research questions once again. So, just to archive how they fluctuate, here they are:

  • Which are the key identities available within a learning community which comes together in an asynchronous online environment? 

  • How are these identities introduced or created? 

  • Which of these identities are mobilised to support learning, and which to discourage learning? 

  • How can the asynchronous environment be designed in order that participants will position themselves, and others, in ways which support learning?
