• In Event: GSA- Revisiting Study Groups: How this Back-to-Basics Approach Fostered Context and Support for Doctoral Students (v)

Short Description

This panel will discuss how distant doctoral students formed a study group as they took a seminar IDT course. Representing higher education, government, K-12, healthcare, and library services, multiple perspectives surrounding current and historical IDT trends and issues were created. The panel will address how the study group was formed, structured, and managed. Attendees will learn how study groups can be used throughout their dissertation research to find accountability when the structure of coursework ends.
