Working on the draft of a draft of a literature review. It’s such a mound of material that it’s really hard to arrange sensibly. I’ve got three and a half thousand words, which I guess is about a third of a literature review, but I keep getting lost in it.<\/p>\n
I’ve done a fairly coherent intro, though I assume it’ll be completely rewritten in time. There’s a section on identity which is pretty interesting, though it doesn’t even touch on the nuts and bolts of identity construction in discourse. And there’s a bit about how online learning communities are constructed which I suspect I’ll tear up and start again at some point.<\/p>\n
I’ve got an outline in Powerpoint, and an outline in Word, and a pencilled outline on one sheet of paper, and a whole series of piles of snippets of papers which is supposed to give me a physical framework, and I’m still meandering all over the place.<\/p>\n
Spose it would help if I’d read all the material about education and learning that I need for part one. Then I’d have something more substantial to hang it all on.<\/p>\n
Oh well, back to social loafing theory…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
