 | | A primer on the application of meta-analysis to educational technology research: Examples using open-source software |
| Presented: Thursday, October 29, 2020 9AM - 4PM Eastern
This workshop is designed to introduce the meta-analysis research method using datasets from the field of educational technology in a friendly and interactive environment. The workshop focuses on the conceptual knowledge for conducting a meta-analysis using the open-source packages JASP and JAMOVI, instead of focusing on the mathematical equations. Participants will explore existing datasets to learn fundamental statistical concepts and their interpretation. Participants are encouraged to bring ideas for conducting their own meta-analysis for discussion.

 | | Mixed Methods Research Techniques: A Step by Step Approach for Instructional Design Researchers |
| Presented: Thursday, October 29, 2020 1PM - 4PM Eastern
Identifying yourself as a quantitative or a qualitative researcher may limit your ability to explore a broader range of research questions. Where qualitative researchers report on how and why of the research questions, the quantitative researchers inform about how many, who, where, and when. Either can give only a part of the complete picture. Then, why not consider using mixed method research design? Learn how to decide if mixed methods approach is the correct paradigm to apply, develop mixed methods research questions, explore the role of sampling, compare and contrast the mixed methods approach with quantitative and qualitative research approach.
