Research opportunity for students

As new director of the Martin-Springer Institute, I hope you can help spread the word regarding a research project that might interest your students. The attached flyer details our search for motivated students to actively and collaboratively participate in researching, planning and designing a travel exhibit on the history of the Bedzin ghetto in Poland.

 

The Martin-Springer Institute is seeking up to 10 interested students (advanced undergrad and grad) from different disciplines to start working in the spring as a Independent Study, supervised by Martin Kalb (HISTORY) and myself.

 

Of this group, we will choose 4 students who will receive a stipend to work on this project in the summer for 2-weeks at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC.

Please help to disseminate the information among your students and colleagues.

 

We prefer nominations by faculty, but students can also self-nominate by contacting me directly.

Tu, C. H., Yen, C. J. &, Blocher, M. (2011). A study of the relationships between gender and online social presence. International Journal of Online Pedagogy & Course Design, 1(3) 32-48.

Abstract

CMC has been considered a "democratizing" technology; however, research indicates that CMC does not automatically result in social equality, and points to the importance of social and cultural factors surrounding

the adoption of technology. Research suggests that CMC may impose a disadvantage to females, demonstrating lower levels of social presence. This study assesses the predictive relationship between gender and online

social presence. A total of 395 graduate students participated by responding to the Computer-Mediated Communication Questionnaire. Quantitative research designs and analyses were applied. This study concluded that online social presence is not related to gender; therefore, gender cannot serve as an effective predictor for online social presence. A female's online social presence can be as high as a male's. Effective strategies to improve online social presence for both genders are suggested. Additionally, this study raises the importance on gender equity in emerging social media.
