Long conversations with my online PhD supervisor today about some of the language I need to use to describe some of the concepts I am exploring. I find that we start these conversations online, recording much of what we want to talk about. At some point we skip to the telephone to have a more in-depth discussion, and then at the end we email again to record the conversation we had by phone.
This is a really good way of conducting and recording these discussions. They are vital to my progress at this stage, as the language helps me to shape my thinking, and to communicate the exact concepts that I'm trying to define.
Being online certainly helps to make this process easier, and I have an automatic record of the process too - great!
