This document provides brief updates and reminders on various topics: - It requests IRB certification be sent and notes approved consent forms are available online. - It reminds to post progress reports and notes an upcoming debriefing. - It lists members of a case study group. - It discusses a case study article on resisting age bias and notes connections to literature on aging and computers as well as theory. It questions if the article presents research or a story.

1. A quick stop by HSR
• Send me your IRB certification (if you
haven’t already)
• Approved Consent forms on eReserves
• http://commons.emich.edu

2. Progress Reporting!
• You’ve posted it, right?
• Reporting debriefing

3. Case Study Group
Sarah, Alisha, and Bernie

4. Bowen, “Resisting Age
Bias...”
• Case study, but combination of methods
• Note the connection with literature on
aging and computers (589, 590, 591, etc.)
• Digital literacy via motivations, work, family,
friends (but not school, really-- see 596&7)
• Note the connection with theory
(remediation, for example-- 601)

5. Bowen, “Resisting Age
Bias...”
• Certainly evidence that this = “real
research” in the field; something to think
about with your MA projects
• But again, research vs. “story?”
• Think of the “older people” in your lives: is
there a generalization here?
