The following were developed as a collaborative framework that has now been modified for two individual, separate independent studies. These independent studies involve two distinct research questions, methodologies and research projects. The students will be informally getting together to chat about the weekly Second Life "explorations" using the weekly structure developed below.
Anne, do you mind if I take out the "due dates" and "readings" and just leave the weekly exploratory topics? Let me know if I'm OK to remove this content; I don't want to remove it if you'll be needing for the development of your indep. study proposal :) -- MO
