LTEC/CECS 6800/5800 Studies in Education (Topic: Research Methods in Online Environments)

Explores the use of the Internet as a research tool and the related methods, issues and challenges in doing research online. Familiarizes students with research design and analysis that they may be able to employ in their own research in online environments.

This is a blended, 3-hour credit course scheduled to meet on Tuesdays, 5.30-8.20pm in the Fall 2009 semester. A total of five (5) face-to-face meetings will be scheduled. The first face-to-face meeting is set on 1Sep2009 (Tuesday) in the first week of the semester. Attendance to this first meeting is very important.

I had a free graduate seminar (my service to students :) ) last 23 Mar 2009 on this topic. I do not have a powerpoint slide for this. But I did use a blog (http://anormalst.wordpress.com). Leave your thoughts if you do visit.

It's 'pieces' of theories, methods, tools, issues, questions, ideas and experiences, intended to trace with the students the 'making of the Web' for research, borrowing words from David Weinberger (for one) and Bruno Latour constantly interrupting my own thoughts (not that I mind really).

If you have questions regarding this course, do not hesitate to email me.
