see THE SELF AND OTHERS .... RE: [Ailist] Colleges using Ai for accreditation

[Lionel Boxer]

I wrote chapter 16 for Rom Harre's 2003 positioning theory text THE SELF AND OTHERS about using Positioning Theory to assess quality management systems.  Positioning theory is another social constructionist theory.

You might get some ideas there. The paper was in part based on my PhD thesis and a 2001 confernce paper.  THE SELF AND OTHERS was published concurrently with my PhD completion.

THE SELF AND OTHERS should be in your library university:

Harre and Moghaddam, The Self and Others, Greenwood Pubishers, 

You can read it on google books:

John, I would try the accrediting association staffs.
They know what college are using and planning for their self-studies.
That would give you the beginning and some grist for your mill.
Good luck.  It is an interesting topic to think about.
Best,
Cecile

Subject: [Ailist] Colleges using Ai for accreditation

I am beginning proposal development for a doctoral dissertation and am
looking for colleges or universities who are using AI as part of their
regional accreditation self-studies or related activities.
 
I have read Nancy Stetson's excellent 2008 book on Ai in Community Colleges
and have identified some colleges from that source.
 
If you have worked with or are aware of other colleges using AI in this way,
I would appreciate your assistance.
 
John Thibodeau
