For the past couple of days, I have spent time searching the internet for online research methods tutorials. I wanted to learn what resources were already out there for people who want to brush up on their research methods knowledge. I did this by doing Google searches for "research methods online tutorials." I was surprised to see several different options out there. In particular, there are several tutorials run by colleges/universities all over the country. I have started posting links to some of them on the Research Methods Review website.
Looking back, I could have done this differently by consulting faculty and student colleagues at the W&M School of Education. Faculty who teach research methods classes would be particularly useful resources in this area. Also, they would likely know the best/most effective online resources for such areas. As such, one of my next steps in this project is to contact faculty such as Dr. Kim to investigate other options for web-based research methods tutorials.
What I have seen thus far has strengthened my resolve that there needs to be a one-stop resource online (i.e. the Research Methods Review website) that offers a wide range of resources in one single location. One problem I have already encountered is that while there are already resources out there, they are scattered all over the internet and are difficult to find. When thinking about how I could help others in this area, I believe that offering several resource options for research methods review in one single website would be a significant first step. Based on my experience, I could help others learn by consolidating all of those tutorials and other resources in one place.
