An arts-based research allegorical novella
Who owns a life?

This poster session uses Leavy’s ‘Method Meets Art’ techniques to journey through a survey of the John Henry Hauberg papers at the Special Collections Thomas Tredway Library, Augustana College. Hauberg (1869-1955) was a Rock Island County Illinois researcher and philanthropist with a devoted interest in the patrilineal Thunder Clan, the first natio...
This paper uses the conventions of autoethnography, narrative research, writing as inquiry, and the artistic license of creative nonfiction to present a comparison of women’s narratives from the patrilineal Thunder Clan, the indigenous nation Sauk who were relocated from their summer home of Saukenuk, near the sacred confluence of the Mississippi a...
The situated dissertation advising framework (SDAF) was formalized in 2015 by a group of Northcentral University (NCU) Graduate School faculty and continues to involve a resource-intensive, socialized, and high-mentoring approach to dissertation research within an online doctoral community of practice. The framework is founded on Lave and Wenger's...

On November 7, 1861, the U.S. Union Army occupied the Sea Islands following an invasion of the Port Royal Sound that left some 10,000 former slaves to be cared for and 80,000 confiscated acres of Sea Island plantation property to be cultivated (Hazzard, 2012; Ochiai, 2001; Rose, 1964; Rowland, Moore, & Rogers, 1996). A historical, economic, and cul...
At United States online doctoral institutions, many doctoral candidates focus their dissertation research on study problems that emerge from professional practice, which may serve as a vital first experience and preparation for continued practitioner or practice-based research. Although there have been many definitions offered as to what constitute...
Doctoral education contributes to a knowledge-driven society in preparing scholar-practitioners who will use formal inquiry to solve problems and discover innovations that benefit educational leadership. The Northcentral University School of Education offers a model for situated dissertation advising within an online community of practice to improv...
The experiences of New England’s early cleric-physicians, such as the Rev. Gershom Bulkeley of Connecticut have been extensively explored within the scholarship of witch hysteria and the emergence of modern clinical medicine within the specific context of alchemy; however, Bulkeley’s only daughter, Dorothy Bulkeley Treat’s experiences with alchemy,...
In a primarily doctoral granting institution, it is critical to have provisions to ensure high rates of student success to ensure institutional viability. In this paper, the authors present the challenges experienced by doctoral candidates and propose a philosophy of dissertation advising to help students complete their programs successfully and wi...
Literary character development is as much process as product; this paper purports that Moustakas’ heuristic research method conventions can be exploited in arts-based research as internal creative contrivances whereby literary characters can emerge via shared pretense of writer and character as “only from the search within oneself can the creative...
This article presents a simple framework that can be used to guide doctoral scholar-practitioners to ensure that constructs originated from professional practice and used within a quantitative or quantitative component of a mixed methods practitioner research dissertation study have been appropriately operationalized within the scholarship. A model...
From a research perspective, researcher positionality has emerged from the interpretive approach to social science research as an exploration of the researcher's reflections on one's own place within the many contexts and subjectivities of the doctoral researcher's viewpoint.
Offers guidance on defining rigorous and well-designed practitioner research for dissertation studies, demystifying the research study and clarifying its relation to and within the setting of professional practice.
This article blends the concepts of spacetime from theoretical physics and Einstein’s Relativity Theory to discuss the spatiotemporal nature of distance education. By comparing and contrasting speed-of-light space travel with the speed of computer processing, the leap is made to consider the fourth dimension and its phenomena for the Web traveler....
Nearly four years have passed since enactment of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN Act) opened the door for higher education institutions to use electronic records and electronic signatures (e-sign) in place of traditional paper records and handwritten signatures. During that time, acceptance of e-sign has acceler...
This work presents a new theory for higher education online, known as 4th Dimension Learning, based upon a new paradigm of different understandings of the relationships between time and space using Einstein's Relativity Theory to demonstrate that time is relative to the observer and there is no absolute time or space. Through a heuristic narrative...
As the Internet continues to connect the globe, the world's knowledge becomes accessible through the desktop PC. At the same time that these global resources are being connected, microprocessors are processing information at the speed of light, bridging concepts established in the New Physics of the 20th Century and learner-centered educational the...
Since 1995, Hamilton College has developed and invested in the academic and technological infrastructure needed to support distance education through an online educational delivery platform. To achieve this, the College launched a planning process that led to concept development, research and peer evaluations, collaborative forums and presentations...
Following accreditation by the North Central Association in May 1996, the leadership of Hamilton College in Mason City, Iowa, began to informally explore the meaning of the term “quality graduate.” They found no campus consensus about a definition. Because the college’s assessment plan was designed to be outcome-driven to measure the quality of lear...
In 1990, under the leadership of a new owner and president, John Huston, the College moved forward as an institution of higher education through the pursuit of regional accreditation and as a degree-granting institution. Through the decade, as the need for more highly qualified graduates increased, Hamilton College integrated general education with...
