=Research Skill Development framework: RSD Refresh=

**Purpose of this wiki for December 2011-March 2012:** //**Improve the current RSD framework**//

 * //The Research Skill Development (RSD) framework was first published in 2006 on the [|RSD website], and in the [|HERD journal] in 2007//. It has subsequently had 5 years of use in university courses spanning numerous disciplines and universities. Many users have provided feedback and others have provided critique of the RSD in journal articles. It is timely to take feedback into consideration and to allow a broad opportunity for users and potential users to comment on and improve the framework.**

This wiki is for you to contribute your perspective on the phrasing of RSD facets and degrees of autonomy. If you click on the link below, you will see the contribution from others for each facet. I invite you to add your contribution underneath theirs.
