- 2. Review the steps involved in the research process (identifying the research problem, reviewing the literature, planning/design, collecting, analyzing storing & sharing data, quality control). Identify the latest technology tools and apps (mobile, cloud-based, web-based) available for Lecturers and Librarians to utilize at each stage of the research process. Introduce a range of emerging technology tools to enable researchers to conceptualize, conduct and complete research projects.
- 3. Simplify research oriented tasks. Shorten time required to complete research. Build specific skills set for innovative researchers wishing to use a variety of platforms (smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops), business choices (free, fee, and “freemium”) and design options ("do-it-yourself," consultation, and outsourcing) to conceptualize and implement successful research projects.
