Writing for Publishing in Technology Enhanced Learning ResearchIain Doherty
This is a presentation that I gave for the Write-TEL 2 (http://www.napiereducationexchange.com/pg/groups/12872/writetel-2/) writing workshop series. I provided a perspective on writing to get published in the area of technology enhanced learning. The basic thrust of the presentation is that good research naturally leads to a good research paper.

Instructions for all Forums:
Each week, learners will post one initial post per week. This post must demonstrate comprehension of the course materials, the ability to apply that knowledge in the real world. Learners will engage with the instructor and peers throughout the learning week. To motivate engaged discussion, posts are expected to be on time with regular interaction throughout the week. All posts should demonstrate college level writing skills. To promote vibrant discussion as we would in a face to face classroom, formatted citations and references are not required. Quotes should not be used at all, or used sparingly. If you quote a source quotation marks should be used and an APA formatted citation and reference provided.
Before beginning your paper, you need to decide how you plan to design the study
.
The research design refers to the overall strategy that you choose to integrate the different components of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby, ensuring you will effectively address the research problem; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data. Note that your research problem determines the type of design you should use, not the other way around!

General Structure and Writing Style
The function of a research design is to ensure that the evidence obtained enables you to effectively address the research problem logically and as unambiguously as possible
. In social sciences research, obtaining information relevant to the research problem generally entails specifying the type of evidence needed to test a theory, to evaluate a program, or to accurately describe and assess meaning related to an observable phenomenon.
With this in mind, a common mistake made by researchers is that they begin their investigations far too early, before they have thought critically about what information is required to address the research problem. Without attending to these design issues beforehand, the overall research problem will not be adequately addressed and any conclusions drawn will run the risk of being weak and unconvincing. As a consequence, the overall validity of the study will be undermined.
The length and complexity of describing research designs in your paper can vary considerably, but any well-developed design will achieve the following

These slides are appropriate for Masters and Doctoral Students and the corresponding webinar will soon be available on the DoctoralNet Youtube channel.
This is the first of two parts analyzing others works in order to develop our own faster and more efficiently. Covered are the abstract, introduction, first paragraphs, layouts and organization of theses and dissertations,
The second in a series - these slides have the links to the documents discussed in this video: https://youtu.be/qpBtGDWFaPw. Covered are examples of lit, methodology, and theoretical and conceptual frames
This was the second set of slides for students about to complete their PhD dissertation or thesis. Included are what to do about the slides, what questions are likely to be asked and what you might consider doing as far as timing goes.
Both the basics and the practical aspects of ethical review and IRB submissions for graduate students are covered. Viewers will be better prepared to ace the application the first time.
From what goes where to the questions you need to answer with a great and empowering exercise in the middle this is a must have set of slides for the PhD candidate. Also go to doctoralnet on youtube for the recording.
The exercise - find where you are on the wheel of research, go to the slide for that step and use the tools to help you move on - send your results to alana@doctoralnet.com for the next step

5. Do you understand how to fine tune your methodological choices?
1. Writing Your Doctoral Dissertation
or Thesis Faster
A Proven Map to Success
by E. Alana James and Tracesea Slater
• Do You Understand How to Fine-Tune Your
Methodological Choices?
• Moving from Basics to Getting Ready to Write
5. • A theoretical base that forms the conceptual foundation on
which your design rests
• Specifics of the context in which you will work to help
determine the population, size, and scope of your study
• Issues of validity and reliability that you build into your
research design to help it measure just what you have in mind
6. Simplified Research Logic
• If and when all the aspects of the design lead easily one to
another, your efforts should bring credible results from
which you will be able to draw the conclusions you need
to address the problem you set.
• Any wobble in logic and the stretch from design to
credible results becomes much more difficult.
9. • Developing a theoretical base
– Empiricism, positivism, post modernism,
critical theory, pragmatism, constructivism
etc.
• What theoretical stance fits most closely with
your views?
• What are the theoretical positions of your
university, department and professors?
• Theoretical justification for methodology
11. • Small studies run the risk of being considered insignificant
• Large studies can become overwhelming and cause failure
• Consider your ideal population
• Consider practical aspects:
– Access to permissions, access to data and people
– Extent that the smaller group reflects the larger group
who may be affected
– If the population is large, will you be able to gather
enough evidences to speak to the issues of that large a
group?
13. • Stakeholder buy-in
• Archival evidence
• Your context’s relationship to the significance
of your study
Find out who is in charge, meet with them to discuss your
study, and get them on board. Having the support of
stakeholders and others who hold power is often essential for
gathering the data you will need.
14. Validity and Reliability
• Your research design (the way in which your instruments
measure your concept) needs to be logical so that the
findings that develop from your data build credible results
• Internal vs. external validity
• Is it credible that data collected from your sample is
representative of the wider population you are studying?
• Are your measurements valid? Are you actually measuring
what you intended to measure?
• Do your data cluster in a way that indicate your questions or
measures produce consistent results?

approaches (3rd ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. On pages 5 through 11, this book has a
particularly clear discussion of the philosophical worldviews that underpin most theoretical
approaches to research.

gives you a great picture of the end game you are striving for. To the extent that you can
begin with the end in mind, your path may suffer fewer detours along the way. Also pages
190 through 197 give an excellent overview of the different types of validity and reliability you
will want to consider as claims in your methodological design.

excellent, readable book by notable authors about the way theory plays out in the complex
quantum scientific worldview. Model-dependent realism allows the student to build a model
that fits their context and circumstance.
