Hi Peggy-Lynn,

I took my tutorial over three weekends, and finally completed the final module (8?) on Sunday -- I got my certificate!

The information is indeed very interesting!

Thank you, Peggy Lynn,

I saw that there was a tutorial in EDDE 805 when I was doing research on the TCPS website, but I did not know it was a doctorate requirement. I appreciate the heads-up, as I will immediately start on it!

Interesting read Peggy Lynn. I wonder if it is more common in the U.S. As 'Dr' Conrad and I mentioned last night, we have never experienced this, but I do very little work in The States.

Hello Peggy Lynn,

Thanks for sharing the article and such an interesting dilemma which reflects an abundance of outdated social norms. Also, thanks for handling the session when the technology was glitching out.

Hi Neera!

Thanks so much for your comments about my presentation. The feedback I've received from you and our other classmates will make my project a lot more rigourous.

To answer your procedural question, I will do an online DACUM (the junior/entry-level psychometrician) with a group of 6 experts. I will note and report on what worked and what didn't. As you know, DACUM is a pretty reliable process. If the result of the online DACUM is not comparable (number of competencies and tasks) to a F2F DACUM, I suspect the causes will be with me, as the facilitator, or the online process/tools, or a combination of both. I will make changes to the my facilitatin technique and/or the online process/tools in a second, related DACUM (senior psychometrician) with the same group of experts.

This is not ideal. But I believe it will provide enough information as an exploratory study to "plant a stake in the ground" from which further research may be done.

Cheers,

Angie

Thanks Marc, yes I have a lot to still think about!

Beautiful! Yes, that about sums it up. Not sure about the straight line though! The process tends to be a lot squigglier than that in real life 

Seems like something of interest.  I am just about to wrap up 801, but from what I've been told (from others who are further along in their studies) is that my ideas for dissertation seem to be in the DBR realm.
