The study has been designed to articulate in three stages.
Technology Enhanced Learning project stages
Stage 1
Lecturers and undergraduate students from UEA and three other English higher education institutions will be recruited and interviewed to gather their opinions about the TEL practices to which they are exposed. The output of this first round of interviews will inform the creation of a questionnaire.
Stage 2
Undergraduate students will be recruited to perform cognitive testing interviews on the questionnaire. Through this procedure, students will be asked to interpret the meaning of the questions, to ensure that their interpretation coincides with the one of the researchers. Next, the finalised questionnaire will be deployed online to the broader student population (with or without SpLDs, ASD, ADHD) and responses will be collected.
Stage 3
Reporting and recommendations.
