  • Access to qualitative data analysis software with the DAWN project

    The DAWN (Data Analysis Workstation and Network) project is a student-led initiative offering fellow students free access to ATLAS.ti, a powerful qualitative data analysis tool used for analyzing textual, graphical, audio, and video data.

    Our goals are (1) to provide broad access to ATLAS.ti so that students can try novel analyses, and (2) to build an informal community of researchers using this tool. To help accomplish these goals, we now have a Windows desktop with software available for use in Room 10E.

    During the month of April in the Spring 2018 semester, you can get involved in the DAWN project in two ways.

    1. Visit a drop-in session. Stop by to check out the software. A DAWN team member will be present to help you get oriented with the basics of the software. Drop-in sessions will be held on the following dates and times:

    Wednesday, April 4, 9:00–10:30 a.m.

    Thursday, April 5, 2:30–4:00 p.m.

    Monday, April 9, 2­–3:30 p.m.

    2. Apply for project time. If you would like to reserve project time on the computer, please write a brief summary (150-200 words) conveying your project needs and email it to Rob Wallon at rwallon2@illinois.edu, with the subject “DAWN Application.” Applications will be reviewed by the team on a rolling basis, and time will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.

  • 7th Annual COE Graduate Student Conference

    Dec 15, 2015 8:45 pm490 views

    Seventh Annual

    College of Education Graduate Student Conference:

    Transformative Scholarship, Schooling & Society

    March 11, 2016
    8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

    From mundane daily interactions to national and international reform initiatives, in various ways people, communities, and institutions are constantly regulated. The effects of such regulations manifest in various social domains, one of the more pronounced being within P-20 schooling experiences. This has, among other things, led to limited educational attainment, curtailed curricula, and the potential loss of personal and/or professional identity. Yet it has also resulted in opportunities for dialogue, new learning approaches, and collective action.

     

    In an effort to contextualize the complexities and politics embedded in such practices, the 2016 College of Education Graduate Student Conference is calling for scholarship that investigates this phenomenon, as it’s experienced in the United States and around the world. We welcome scholarship that is both intimately and marginally connected to the theme, as we feel all conversations will enrich educational dialogues.

     

    All graduate students with education-related projects are welcome to submit in the following categories:

     

    Paper: An individual paper with 1 or 2 authors

    Submit a one-page abstract of a paper

    Panel: 2 – 3 coordinated papers organized around a single theme or topic

    Submit a one-page abstract for each paper on the panel, a description of the panel, and a panel title

    Roundtable: A paper in early formation such as, outlines and early drafts

    Submit a 50-100 word abstract.

    Alternative Presentations: A project that is more aesthetic/performative/poetic/evocative. We welcome submissions for performances, art installations, musical pieces, video showings, and similarly provocative interventions.

    Submit a one page abstract and any accompanying digital files representing your work.

     

    Send submissions & inquiries to: coegsc2016@gmail.com. Deadline: December 31, 2015

     

    This year’s conference will feature the 2nd annual Hong Kong University Graduate Student Conference Exchange Program

We invite proposals for individual papers, works in progress, or panel sessions, which could consist of several works in progress.
