Dissertation Topic Detailed
As discussed in my November 25th post on Dissertation Topic – Online Video Conversations, I have focused down the topic and am moving forward. Here is an informal proposal detailing the direction I am going. As my die-hard follower(s) might notice, some of this was a portion of the ATTW proposal – that is a…
Nice Pic
OK, this Blog is supposed to be all about my research. But I thought I’d share this nice pic. Thanx to Tyson Crosbie for this one.
Dissertation Topic – Online Video Conversations
Here is a video directed at my dissertation committee. However, as it discusses my direction, I am posting it here.
12 Seconds
I was recently introduced to 12 seconds. It is another online video site. However, with this one, you only get 12 seconds to say what you need to say. At first thought, this might seem a questionable format, as there is little one can say in a mere 12 seconds. However,

Semi-Synchronous Communication: Adding Notes in Viddler.
Last week, I was discussing with someone the ability one has to add textual comments (annotations) to the timeline of online videos, such as in YouTube and Viddler. In this way, one is commenting textually at certain points in the timeline of the video. This is rather exciting, since it breaks a limitation of annotating…

Is this the answer to bridging geographic distance textually but using rules clearly based in orality, afforded by the new technologies?” I took this to refer to bridging the situation that since you are not right…
