Howard:

This is fantastic idea - both the content and the process - I have always
believed that participatory ways of knowing and inquiry are consistent
with a unitary worldview. I look forward to making contribution. It is
interesting to go to the chapters and see a blank slate ready for our
creative contributions.

Subject
[Martha_E_Rogers] RE: Announcing the Rogerian Nursing Science Wiki









Hello to Everyone:

This is a invitation to participate in the co-writing and co-editing of a
comprehensive text on the science of unitary human beings.

The intended purpose of wiki is two fold:

1) to bring together a collaborative participatory community to co-create
a definitive comprehensive explication of the SUHB;

2) to create an online resource that anyone can access for all those who
want to learn about how Rogerian nursing science serves as a foundation
for nursing research, practice, education, and administration.

I have proposed a Table of Contents for the online text, which is open for
discussion and revision.

All I've done so far is create the site, write an introduction and title
the text (see Title Page).

There will be an article on wikis I've written that will be in the next
issue of Visions. The article explains how wikis work, how they are
consistent with Rogerian participatory epistemology, and how a wiki
illuminates principles of a Rogerian-based pedagogy.

This wiki will be a work in progress . . . continually evolving and
growing in depth an diversity as the Rogerian community adds to its
content.

You can access the site at:

http://rogeriannursingscience.wikispaces.com/

If you want to be a member of the Rogerian wiki site so you can edit, add
to, expand, and improve the content, email me.

Anyone will be able to read the content, whether they are a participant or
not, by linking to the site.

Welcome to the new age of Rogerian Science . . .We are in the age of
collaboration and knowing participation in change. . . the age of mutual
process.

Are you ready?
