INTEGRATIVE CAPSTONE PROJECT
PROJECT OVERVIEW
As educators, improving student learning is fundamental to what we do. Therefore, the driving question that is answered in this culminating project focuses directly on improving student learning:
How can we, as educational technology experts, design and implement research supported technology-based learning experiences that improve student learning?
This project is an action-based research project in which a learning issue in students—as well as an instructional issue—was identified. The researcher then found a technology-based solution for the issue. Evidence was drawn from academic resources, literature review, to support the use of the technology-based solution in the classroom. The researcher then applied the research and implemented the educational technology solution in the classroom to determine its efficacy with students through data collection and research. The data was interpreted to analyze the implications from the data collected. A conclusion is drawn with future recommendations and revisions in a reflective essay.
