---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank list members for responding to my initial comments
regarding women's access to time and space with home computers - both on
and off the list. This has encouraged me to pursue the whole thing
further and to arrange to collect some data to illustrate the issue as
much as I can at this stage.
I realise that I did not myself provide much in the way of a synopsis or
personal perspective and this contrasts markedly with the generosity of
list members who mailed me with theirs.
So, since I do not want to take up too much space here (!!) if anyone
would like to have what amounts to a
draft-discussion-document-research-proposal (aprox 2-3,000wds) to 'catch
my drift' please let me know and I will email it as it stands - since I
use a Mac, it will come as a chunk of an email!
And - rather to the point - if you know that you could help me gather
some data and have contact with what is my target group - ie. mature
women learners who are accessing internet based materials for
information or communication in the course of their study - please let
me know and as soon as I have an on-line survey sorted out ( I am
experimenting with Leo - as suggested on this list ) I can let you have
the URL and away we go..?
On another tack - it seems from some of the responses, that this is an
issue which transcends the formal learning period but which is a
continuous issue for women who wish to pursue their intellectual or
leisure/ pleasure pursuits via home based technology . There is much to
research here and with trans-atlantic perspectives, an opportunity for
collaborative enquiry
