We are going to be writing a research paper for this course. As Kevin mentioned in the Chapter Three discussions, we probably do not have time to do original research (although some simple survey instruments have been utilized in the past) so our goal is to focus on a topic of interest and applicability to our professional areas.

The attached PDF file gives some preliminary guidelines for this work.

We may wish to add links here as we discover and share resources that we find helpful and interesting related to the field of educational technology.

• International Society for Technology in Education [link] is one professional organization you may wish to become familiar with.
• Center for Applied Research in Educational Technology [link] is a good place to search as well - I don't know if the funding for this has been renewed or not...
• Our time at the library on October 4 will be instructive so we can add a couple of links here after our class session. In the meanwhile, Claire Clemens has put together a resource page for educational research, particularly focusing on Educational Technology [link].
