Organización de Empresas, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (SPAIN) [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Received December 2010 Accepted March 2011 Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this paper is to analyze the utility of edublogs in teaching- learning process applied to postgraduate Courses. Particularly, it describes an experience carried out while delivering a Course offered to students, mainly Industrial Engineers, of a certain Master program. Design/methodology/approach: In the first section of the paper, we perform a literature review with the aim of defining some basic concepts as blog, weblog or edublog. Later on, we compare some educational models to identify best practices related to new technologies, and particularly, to edublogs. Finally, we analyze our experience in a postgraduate Course. Findings and Originality/value: We have identified best practices on teaching using edublogs and we have applied them to a particular postgraduate Course. Research limitations/implications: Conclusions are obtained from only one experience (one postgraduate Course). We intend to extend the analysis to more postgraduate Courses and compare the obtained results. Practical implications: We have applied the previously described methodology and we have discussed advantages and disadvantages of using edublogs.

DOLLAR, B.A., M.ED. DENTON, TEXAS AUGUST 2018 Copyright © 2018 by Tamra R. Dollar DEDICATION To my life partner and best friend, Michael T. Dollar You told me I could, so I did. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I feel privileged to express my eternal gratitude to the people who were directly involved in my doctoral journey. First of all, I would like to thank my advisor and exemplary Chair, Dr. Patricia (Pat) Watson, for whom I am forever indebted. She walked beside me and would gently nudge me when I would get “stuck in the weeds.” Dr. Watson affirmed my creative ways of thinking while at the same time helped me to stay grounded. I aspire to be the kind of professor and mentor to others just as Dr. Watson has been to me. I am extremely grateful to the members of my Dissertation Committee: to Dr. Amy Burke for her enthusiasm and great advice that helped me to best articulate my methodology and epistemological stance; to Dr. Claudia Haag for her ongoing encouragement, genuine care and unwavering support through all of my trials and triumphs; and to Dr. Teresa Starrett for her benevolence and guidance throughout the process. I want to express my sincere thanks to all of my professors at Texas Woman’s University, who guided and assisted me on my doctoral journey to reach this milestone in my life.

Smith March 2010 © 2010 Jeffrey S. Smith. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Cyber-Synchronicity: The Concurrence of the Virtual and the Material Via Text-Based Virtual Reality by JEFFREY S. SMITH has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Joseph W. Slade III Professor of Media Arts and Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT SMITH, JEFFREY S., Ph.D., March 2010, Mass Communication Cyber-Synchronicity: The Concurrence of the Virtual and the Material Via Text-Based Virtual Reality (384 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Joseph W. Slade III This dissertation investigates the experiences of participants in a text-based virtual reality known as a Multi-User Domain, or MUD. Through in-depth electronic interviews, staff members and players of Aurealan Realms MUD were queried regarding the impact of their participation in the MUD on their perceived sense of self, community, and culture. Second, the interviews were subjected to a qualitative thematic analysis through which the nature of the participant’s phenomenological lived experience is explored with a specific eye toward any significant over or interconnection between each participant’s virtual and material experiences. An extended analysis of the experiences of respondents, combined with supporting material from other academic investigators, provides a map with which to chart the synchronous and synonymous relationship between a participant’s perceived sense of material identity, community, and culture, and her perceived sense of virtual identity, community, and culture.

    CORPORATE BLOGGING IN THE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY Sarah Harwood A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts in the School of Journ alism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Debashis Aikat Reader: Robert Lauterborn Reader: Wesley Durow 2006 Sarah Harwood ii ABSTRACT SARAH HARWOOD: Corporate Blogging In The Technology Industry (Under the Direction of Dr. Debashis Aikat) Corporations are now exploring the value of blogs as a marketing tool. This thesis investigates how corporate bloggers in the technology industry are using this new technique to communicate with customers. One blogger from each of the following companies: Cisco, IBM, HP, Microsoft, Sun, Adobe, Accenture, Red Hat, Oracle, and BEA , w as interviewed through a series of on-line interviews. Using a basis of two -way communication theory, the interv iews explored whether there is an effective blogging model technology companies can use and if blogs are a viable marketing tool for technology companies. Results demonstrate that blogs are a viable tool in the marketing mix , but this study was inconclusiv e in providing a model for other technology companies to adopt. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis could not have been completed without the help and support of several people. First, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Debashis Aikat, for guiding me through the thesis process. It was because of his course, Global Impact of New Communication Technologies, that I chose the thesis topic that I did! To my committee members, Professor Bob Lauterborn and Wes Durow, thank you both for your ideas and insight into the practical application of corporate blogging in the business world .

    Liminality and Communitas in Social Media: The Case of Twitter Jana Herwig, M.A., [email protected] Dept. of Theatre, Film and Media Studies, University of Vienna 1. Introduction “What’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever found?” Mac (Peter Riegert) asks Ben, the beachcomber (Fulton Mackay), in the 1983 film Local Hero. ”Impossible to say,” Ben replies. “There’s something amazing every two or three weeks.” Substitute minutes for weeks, and you have Twitter. On a good day, something amazing washes up every two or three minutes. On a bad one, you irritably wonder why all these idiots are wasting your time with their stupid babble and wish they would go somewhere else. Then you remember: there’s a simple solution, and it’s to go offline. Never works. The second part of this quote has been altered: Instead of “Twitter”, the original text referred to “the Net“, and instead of suggesting to “go offline”, author Wendy M. Grossman in her 1997 (free and online) publication net.wars suggested to “unplug your modem”. Rereading net.wars, I noticed a striking similarity between Grossman’s description of the social experience of information sharing in the late Usenet era and the form of exchanges that can currently be observed on micro-blogging platform Twitter. Furthermore, many challenges such as Twitter Spam or ‘Gain more followers’ re-tweets (see section 5) that have emerged in the context of Twitter’s gradual ‘going mainstream’, commonly held to have begun in fall 2008, are reminiscent of the phenomenon of ‘Eternal September’ first witnessed on Usenet which Grossman reports.
