Humber Research Series: Developing your Research Design

Once you have your research question developed, you need to figure out your methodological approach. Will you use quantitative or qualitative methods? What kind of evidence will you gather, and will it help you find out what you want to know? Do you need a comparison or control group? In this session, we will explore different research designs that are commonly used in Teaching and Learning Research projects. This is the fourth event in the Humber Research Series, jointly offered by the Office of Applied Research and Innovation and the Centre for Teaching and Learning.
