Getting to my Question

My question for this project is:

Getting to your question:
  1. Think of a question:

    What are the advantages and disadvantages to creating an online jury form to replace the traditional, paper jury form?
  2. What are the pieces of the question that are spots where we could use different words? *This can also be a place to find different topics for follow-up research, for articles/journals, etc.

    What are the ((advantages) and (disadvantages)) to (creating) an ((online) ((jury) (form))) to (replace) the (traditional), ((paper) ((jury) (form)))?
  3. Replace these with other words. Substitute variables. Look at synonyms. Consider phrases/terms/etc. (especially terms with a particular history/connotation). Be careful and conscious about the politics of your word choices. Zoom in and zoom out.Remove parenthesis as you feel more certain about your word choices.

    What are the ((advantages) and (disadvantages)) to (implementing) a ((computer-based) ((assessment tool))) in a context formerly dominated by hand-written assessment?

    What are the design principles behind designing a computer-based assessment tool in a context formerly dominated by hand-written assessment?

    What are the benefits of implementing a computer-based assessment tool in a context formerly dominated by hand-written assessment?

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of analog vs. digital feedback regarding Vocal Performance at Brigham Young University?

    How do you optimize the value of feedback for Vocal Performance students at Brigham Young University?

    How can using technology optimize the value of feedback for Vocal Performance students at Brigham Young University?

    How can using computers during the Jury experience optimize the value of feedback for Vocal Performance students at Brigham Young University?
  4. Compare with original. Have you improved the question? Is what your going to study going to be helpful or interesting to others in the field?
    New:
    How can using computers during the Jury experience optimize the value of feedback for Vocal Performance students at Brigham Young University?

You might also consider a question around the ways that you could leverage the technology a little more than transferring a form to a webpage. How about actually recording the student's jury performance while the notes are taken? Then they could listen to themselves as they read the feedback. Would student's perceived usefulness of the feedback improve then? Etc.
