Research & Evaluation of Emerging Technologies in Education

This module is premised on an understanding that theories and methodologies for evaluating and researching educational technology interventions are still evolving. It seeks to give students the intellectual tools to critically engage in these activities as practitioners and to understand what underpins it. The course orients students to the knowledge, values and skills involved in research and evaluation and makes use of authentic cases from a range of local contexts.

The course draws on theories and frameworks used in the educational technology field as a means of researching and evaluating practice. We explore what it means to be a scholar in a digital world and how to better communicate and showcase our professional educational technology interests, skills and experiences.
