Blog Post #3 Research Gap

 Well when it comes to my topic I think the biggest gap is just research done on the actual topic. I wanted to look into whether Navigate was an effective software to use for Students and Staff at Universities. While this is still part of my focus there is just not any research done on Navigate as it is still a new software that is out there. So a gap in research would just be more done on Navigate itself. I think as time goes on more and more universities will implement Navigate which will lead to research done on it. Right now my research seems to be the only thing out there that has been done on this. Which is actually super cool to think about.

    I agree, it is cool to think that you could be the first do research on a topic! I hadn't heard about Navigate until you mentioned it this semester, but it seems like it has some good potential to help students. I imagine research revealing its actual effectiveness would have some important implications for student success programs going forward. I think it's a solid topic, and it sounds like you know where you're headed. Great work!

Blog Post #4

 My main goal with my research project is to get all the pieces together. I want to get the survey completed and start having people take it. This way I know what information I am getting and can start prepping what I will be talking about in the paper. The next would be to finalize my literature review, by adding some more information in some sections and making the different changes that Dr. Bacabac suggested. I want to get that done sooner rather than later as that is a big part of the paper. I feel like once those two things are done that my paper will fall together pretty easily. My goal is to have both done this week. Autumn also gave me some great suggestions about working with the person who runs navigate to help with the project.

Blog Post#1 Research Topic

 Research Topic Idea: I am not quite sure yet on the topic that I want to research. However I do know that I want to do something with usability. I want to be able to involve my current job and how effective the things we produce for our center and for the students are. I am interested in researching the effectiveness of font, or color, or layout. I am quite interested in document design and the visual aspect of printed materials. In the end, I am subject to change this topic as I learn more about document design in my visual design class this semester. I hope to have a more solidified idea of my research topic in the coming weeks.
