This summer I’m starting a PhD in Leadership from Andrews University. As part of my studies, I’ll be writing a literature review, and I thought that you might like to be part of the process. As you can guess, I’ll be reading about videoconferencing, specifically VC in education and VC in K12 education.

I have done preliminary searches in ERIC and Dissertation Abstracts, and I’m already frustrated by the lack of research articles on the use of videoconferencing as a curriculum enrichment activity (projects and connecting to content providers, etc.). There are many more research articles on shared classes at the university level.  There are also articles that use the term “videoconference” to mean satellite. Argh! We’ll see how all of this shakes out as I do more searches.

So I’ll be writing my “note cards” on the articles here so that you can gain the benefit of my learning and thinking too. Your comments on the articles and process are very much welcome too!
