Evaluation

A 'pre-survey' was used in order to gauge students' information technology competencies and ability to engage with the professional literature. This was completed by semi-structured interviews which were conducted by the students in pairs during the intensive week of study at the beginning of the semester. There were nineteen interview questions grouped under the headings of Initial Inquiry, Searching Skills, Computer Skills, Referencing and Finding Help. The questions were both closed and open-ended, and were designed to elicit student perceptions and knowledge of undertaking research, the degree of confidence with using technology for research and education purposes and their initial perceptions of their individual technical and research readiness.

A post-survey was emailed to students towards the end of semester before they participated in the chat session. Students were asked to complete the form and submit it with their final assignment. This survey was designed to gauge students' perceptions in similar areas to the pre-survey. The themes covered in the results section, were a comparison of the two assessment items in terms of learning, of enjoyment, how much work it took and their perceptions of the collaboration and the technology.
