Category to Suggest- Publishing Venues
Hershey Wier
as we go along to upload to the Docs area. One would be places to
publish. I am *slowly* working on an online PhD in Education
(Multi-Cultural Educational Technology) program, accredited
(Northcentral University) and would like to publish some of the papers
I write for my classes. I may have found one venue to publish, or at
least they are interested in my topic and abstract. I'm in Japan, so
I'm quite unfamiliar with publishing ventures.
Anyway, I'm happy to upload journal names as I find them, and think if
all did so, it would be a good resource.
About overwhelm, I am in agreement with that (!) I recently decided
too, that because of stress issues and a heavy schedule, that my PhD
is going to be my hobby, not the holy grail. I'm older, not all that
marketable, and can't place all my eggs in the PhD basket at this
stage of my life.
About getting hired for online teaching, my dilemma is my Bachelor's
is in Education, my Master's is in Business, and now my PhD studies
are in Education, though with a management twist.
The majority of my teaching experience is in intercultural
communication / EFL, though I have taught some biz classes in the US
at the post secondary level.
I think to get jobs in online teaching is going to be similar to on
the ground teaching - need to network. I am surprised that it is so
competitive.
Regarding the size of the group, it's small, and could grow some, but
I do prefer smaller groups, as I feel that the discussions are of
higher quality and/or meaningful relationships can be made.
Kind regards,
