| Abstract: | This article focuses on the experiences of seven Ph.D. students implementing a wiki to collaboratively prepare for qualifying
examinations in the educational technology program at a large southeastern university. Concomitant study for such a rigorous
examination is rare, and the trials and tribulations of the group are described in detail. Specific guidelines highlighting
effective preparation options for qualifying exams are often elusive, and, as such, this article explores current research
related to collaborative preparation and mentoring, as well as the qualifying examination process in total, in hopes of adding
to the scientific body of knowledge related to these subjects. It also offers best practice strategies, suggests possible
technology tips regarding wiki implementation, and seeks to better scaffold future scholars and/or mentors seeking to effectively
participate in or plan for collaborative qualifying examination preparation. |
