December!

It's December! Finally we're here. Only three more weeks and the holidays start. Can't wait, though it means I have so much to do still!

*can we change some of our deadlines?* ;-)

Homework homework

I just realised I forgot to post on this journal. I've been busy of course with home work, so don't think I havent been doing anything! Luckily the presentation for Visual Communications is out of the way so I can now focus on my book design and website. I also have a broad outline of questions I would like to ask people in interviews for my research.

No rest for the wicked!

Annotated bibliography

Wow, who would have thought I'd have so much literature i wouldn't know where to start! There is so much that I have here and it's proven difficult to decide which articles and research are most relevant. But I'm struggling through :-)

Website

I've started the design for my Internet Authoring website. Looking very girly.... But what can you expect with a topic on Girls that don't like technology! ;-)

Finalizing my research topic

Having thought more and more about our research project, I've come up with a potential final research question:

"How the development of UI has changed the experience and success of e-learning"

Research research

So continuing on this research for e-learning, I still haven't found the 'perfect' question that would lead to a good research paper and potentially a beginning to a project.

I've been searching for some information online on e-learning and other researches that have been done to give me an idea. I will continue on, until I've found the 'perfect' question. I may even combine it with some other course module information. Eg... how is design important for a good quality e-learning module.

E-learning research

After last weeks discussion I've had a bit more thought about how I can do my research paper on e-learning. As I have both possibility to interview people that take the training, as well as people that create these and investigate new opportunities in e-learning, I can view this subject from different angels.

The basis of the research could be around e-learning as a product and what types of different e-learning methods there are. I then can go into what sort if e-learning is in use right now, and what other methods are being explored. Usability for both creation and participation can be explored further as well.

As you see, lots of different things on which I could focus on. As I also have to keep in mind the confidentiality of more detailed research I will have to choose research questions that will not limit my research options.

Right now my thoughts are around:
- what methods are there
- which are in use
- how is the usability for both creation and participation
- and how do people feel they learn from using these methods.
