The methodological approach of virtual ethnography has been broadened and reformulated through new proposals such as digital ethnography, ethnography on/of/through the Internet, connective ethnography, networked ethnography, cyberethnography, etc. Each of these maintains its own dialogue with the established tradition of ethnography and formulates its relation to this tradition in different ways. There are those who consider that virtual ethnography involves a distinctive methodological approach and those who consider that researching the Internet ethnographically forces us to reflect on fundamental assumptions and concepts of ethnography, but that it doesn't mean a distinctive form of ethnography.","PeriodicalId":369795,"journal":{"name":"Writing Technologies eJournal","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132267263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The enrollment in the two portfolios is 1,958 and 2,073 students respectively. It finds that students in the online portfolio get lower grades compared to those in the in-class portfolio. Furthermore, the difference is significant for students with the following characteristics: female, white, closer proximity to campus, and income level. In the two years after portfolio formation, irrespective of the grade performance and other characteristics, a significantly lower proportion of the online students compared to the in-class students take the subsequent course (relative to their portfolio course). Subject to this caveat, the grade performance of students in the subsequent course is not different for the two groups.","PeriodicalId":369795,"journal":{"name":"Writing Technologies eJournal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126568702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Использованные методы: системно-медиологический подход к исследованиям в книгознании, документологии, информационно-коммуникационных дисциплин, ретроспективный дискурсивный анализ документов, студий, монографий. В хронологическом плане прослеживается способ, благодаря которому Отле аргументирует документ „книгу“ ,в качестве базовой технологии глобальной сети универсальной документации. Устанавливается логика его мышления: путем расширения определения „книги“ он проектирует ее будущие трансформации по нисходящей градации – начиная с „Универсальной книгой знания“ (Le Livre universel de la Science) проходя через „машину о мышлении“ (machine a penser) до ее декомпозиции на „библионы“ (Biblions), самые маленькие строительные блоки документированных знаний. Доказывается, что Отле закладывает основу и концепцию гипердокументации и мульти-сенсорного интерфейса, предсказывая появление „чувственно воспринятых документов“ и формулируя „чувственную спецификацию документов“. Вклад Полья Отле в проектировании „Интернет“-а и „семантического веб-а“ найден в эго идеях с 1908 и 1934 г. о пересечении читальни, телефона и телевизора и удаленное обслуживание пользователей живыми библиотекарями и библиографами, работающими класифицированной и каталогизированной „онтологией“.English Abstract: The key focus of the research is the contribution of the founder of the documentation science, Paul Otlet, to the evolution of communication technologies and media. Methods used: systematic-mediological approach to research in book studies, documentology, information and communication sciences, retrospective discourse analysis of documents, studies, monographs. The way in which Otlet presents arguments about the document “book” as the base technology of the universal documentation global network is reviewed chronologically. His critical thinking has been established: by expanding the definition of a “book”, he projects its future transformation in descending order - from The Universal Book of Knowledge (Le Livre universel de la Science) through the “thinking machine” (machine a penser), to its breakdown to Biblions, the smallest building blocks of written knowledge. It is proven that Otlet laid down the foundations of the concept of hyper-documentation and multi-sensor interface, by predicting the emergence of “sensory perceptible documents” and formulating the “sensory specification of documents”. Paul Otlet’s contribution to designing the “Internet” and the “Semantic Web” was discovered in his proposals from 1908 and 1934 for connecting a reading-room, a telephone and a TV set, and for remote servicing of customers by real librarians and bibliographers who work with classified and catalogued “ontology”.","PeriodicalId":369795,"journal":{"name":"Writing Technologies eJournal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121269685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
