The services/additions that students would find interesting and useful on the course website can be found using:
Ø Document reviews: Review the documents that are prepared during the creation of the website and also the documents stating updates and changes if any.
Ø Observations: Observe the current system, so that the areas in which students are much interested can be known.
Ø Questionnaire and Surveys: Surveys can be done by preparing a proper and systematic questionnaire, so that the services that are mostly useful and interesting to the students can be brought out. Also, the additions to the current system can be obtained through suggestions or drawbacks in the survey performed.
Ø Sampling: All the information gathered through document review, observation, questionnaires and surveys can be sampled to refine the information.
Ø Research: Based on the current system and all the gathered information, research can be done to develop the necessity of the additional services and update current services that are useful to the students, on the course website.
The learning and/or teaching strategies that might improve the student learning in this course can be found using:
Ø Document review: Review the documents that are prepared during the creation of learning and/or teaching, also the documents stating updates and changes if any.
Ø Observation: Closely observe the current strategies of learning and/or teaching, so that, the current system can work much more effectively.
Ø Questionnaire and Surveys: A survey among the teaching staff may not be possible to obtain good results. So, arrange personal interviews with the teaching staff, so that some valuable information can be obtained.
Ø Sampling: By applying some new or updated strategies on small groups and current system on some other small groups and perform sampling, we may be able to develop some useful information.
Ø Research: A specific and detailed research may not be necessary. But, we can just gather information, if the strategies we are going to develop or perform are successful.
The journals that might be useful to search for articles about educational innovations can be found using the following processes:
Ø Document review: By just making a review over the available educational systems we may be able to search for innovations.
Ø Observation: Observation, ofcourse is needed, but to just observe what type of journals are helpful to find articles about educational innovations.
Ø Questionnaire and Surveys: Questionnaire and Survey plays an important role here. Based on the standards of questionnaires that the journals are able to answer and the survey success levels, the journals can be chosen.
Ø Sampling: Sampling may be useful at times but not always when you search for articles it may generate you heaps of results. Then it may happen for you to perform sampling among search results.
Ø Research: Not much research is necessary to find journals that might be useful to search for articles about educational innovations. But a bit is required to analyse and choose between journals obtained through search.
