Research:
The research portion of the DFW continues to stay on track with gathering literature that we can use for creating a literature review and we have narrowed down our definitions of literacy for the next study that is on the horizon.
--Defined terms of “literacy engagement”: scope and how it intersects with all reading literacies
-- Search for and collect articles as well as past studies related to literacy engagement, Covid online learning and literacy, conduct literature reviews; Created a Zotero Read-a-Rama Group to keep all data in one space (shared group with Kayta Yefimova).
-- Researched concrete measures in literacy for future phases of our research (specific criteria to use). This is ongoing.
-- Designed and created a mind map for literacy visual as a resource for the study.
