This past week, as I was finishing up the Netvibes portal, I spent a lot of time thinking about the research question for the final project which is," What are the relationships between current distance learning technologies, lifelong transformative learning, and sustainable living practices for the twenty-first century?" I've been going back over some of the previous 516 materials looking for and organizing definitions for and info on truncation, set building, field searching, quotation marks, proximity searching, and also trying to find any information available on terminology and methods for advanced searching in Scirus. I've also developed a plan and an outline for how I'm going to approach the 3 variables in the research question which are: 1. distance learning technologies 2. lifelong transformative learning 3. sustainable living practices. The most important thing I did this week was begin the introduction for the first draft of the document to be submitted 5/02/08.
