How to conduct research in online teaching and learning [virtual only]

10:00 - 11:45 a.m.

There is great opportunity for Ecampus instructors to conduct research and publish findings that can contribute to the scholarship of teaching and learning. In this interactive workshop, the facilitators will provide a framework for designing research on online teaching and learning, and they’ll guide you through a series of methodological questions to consider. The facilitators also will answer questions about research methodologies and all aspects of the research design process.
