Tilley
The
aim of my PhD research is to firstly, develop a conceptual framework for
community networking, which forms a systematic theory [the outcome of the
research using 'grounded theory'] as the methodology; and then, on the basis of
this theory, propose strategies for implementing a community network - virtual
community model based on user needs for Queenslanders with physical
disabilities. Currently I'm employed at QUT in the School of Information Systems
(Gardens Point). Email: c.tilley@acenet.net.au John TomlinsonMy
