Class Exercise 2: ResearchDossier
- 1. In-class exercise – RESEARCH DOSSIER
- 3. RESEARCH DOSSIER Using your Google Drive space, create a shared folder and organise it to manage your research dossier. MY PROJECT Design: put the canvas here, a document with passwords for accessing the Google Drive account, allocation of roles etc. Administration documents: enter here all administration documents found Data: enter the datasets that you find online and a document describing each dataset found (e.g. Research Design) Other resources: all other useful material found (e.g. research reports, bibliography, site lists) Media: photos, videos or songs you have created or found online that are useful for your project

- 5. RESEARCH DESIGN In class, compile and structure your Research Design, using as an example the MODEL provided in the Homework section. It forms a simple worksheet that you can use to compile all information you need and that you will collect during your research, for example: - sources identified and collected - data found and related links - administrative documents collected - your interviews - contact details - the progress of your work
- 6. The Research Design is very useful as it gives you a snapshot of your research progress in a single file and catalogues all information in a single container. You will also be able to enter internal (to documents) and external (web sources and data) hypertext links. RESEARCH DESIGN
- 7. DISCUSSION EACH GROUP PRESENTS THE MATERIAL FOUND IN 5 MINUTES. FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF DISCUSSION ON THE QUESTIONS: - Are the data and information we have found sufficient to give the research context? How can we use them? - What other data are necessary to continue? - What other related data do we want to collect?
