We, in other words, seek to consider the value of researchers' existing practices. In this early research, we find that for the participant-researchers in this study:

    Multiple online resources are used together in unadvertised, collaborative ways.

  • Why the Future of College isn’t on Campus | Brazen Life – Short post that will be good to critique in A&E. Lovely little half-truths, gross generalizations, even some bullet-proofing of arguments – all make it attractive to buy into, but weak and in the end, nothing new. Can also come at this from a distortion of ethos: apparent practical wisdom that is built of unquestioned aphorisms and placebos. Can see it by asking if the ethos is open to an alternative. Mis-leading title: this is back focused, not future. Nothing new here. Summed up in: Yes, it's apparent in your writing that you learned very little in college. – (a&e fyc argument fallacious bulletproofing tribalism )
