edit   Facilitator(s) Dr. Michael Verhaart, Assoc. Prof, EIT Hawke's Bay, New Zealand Hi everyone. Next Semester (Semester 2, 2013) I have been assigned to take a Post graduate "Research in IT" Course. At the moment I am creating the course framework. If you are interested in being involved or have comments I would be really pleased to hear from you. I am hoping this course will involve a lot of researchers and will be able to record and use your experiences. For example, if you are "into" say design research and can do a short 5-15 min video or presentation (slideshare?) that can be included that would be fabulous. Also, it would be fantastic to get a list of researchers who would be happy to do a live stream to classes. If you want to add a quick comment or give me some feedback you can use this Google document. edit   Objectives The aim of Research in Information Technology is to provide students with a framework for applied research in IT which can be used to conduct research relating to a current strategic computing issue. Identify an applied research topic which relates to a current computing issue, develop a research proposal and communicate the proposal in an oral presentation. Conduct the research and present it as a report or academic article Communicate a summary of the research in an oral presentation
