[Last fall I sent out the message below about a Communication Research Methods blog. I've realized since then that it's a lot easier to update a Facebook page than a wordpress blog, so I've copied the blog materials and added a lot more to the FB page at: http://www.facebook.com/CommunicationResearchMethods Please feel free to take a look, 'like' the page, and/or add your own posts. --Matthew ] In case it's of interest/use, I've created a Wordpress blog called "Communication Research Methods" for undergrad and grad level methods courses I teach at Temple University. The blog features (right now 100) news articles and other items that I've found over time that touch on key concepts and trade-offs in the processes of conducting, reporting and evaluating research (in communication and beyond). The blog is at this url: http://commresearchmethods.wordpress.com/ I´ve used the blog for assignments that sensitize students at the beginning of a course and then help illustrate their learning at the end (e.g., http://matthewlombard.com/teaching/m500_blog1.html and http://matthewlombard.com/teaching/m500_blog2.html), but there are many other possibilities. Constructive comments about individual posts are welcome, and if you find the blog useful and/or would like to contribute items or help improve it in other ways, please let me know at lombard@temple.edu. --Matthew -- Matthew Lombard, Ph.D. Temple University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA lombard@temple.edu http://matthewlombard.com
