Academic publisher SAGE has announced the launch of Educational Research Methods, powered by Acrobatiq. Designed for undergraduate and graduate students, the courseware provides students with a thorough understanding of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods as well as action research.
By combining the expert research methods content of SAGE authors with a course design based on a learning model developed by the scientists at Carnegie Mellon University, Educational Research Methods enables an active learning environment proven to positively impact student outcomes. With the goal of cultivating research methods skills, the courseware includes problem-based activities that follow a learn-by-doing approach, with targeted hints and feedback to support students' learning. As students interact with the instructional content and activities, learning data is continuously collected, analysed and reported to The Learning Dashboard™ giving instructors real-time insight into student learning so they can adapt their own instruction accordingly.
Educational Research Methods is optimized for mobile delivery, conforms to accessibility standards, and is LTI compliant enabling Single Sign On (SSO) with learning management systems such as Blackboard, Desire2Learn, and others.
