Potential Research Participants,
Hello, my name is Jodi Allen and I am currently a PhD student at Capella University, my Specialization is Education in Instructional Design for Online Learning. My research topic is to identify and describe the strategies and models experienced Instructional Designers use when designing and developing instruction for adult learners were learners use assistive technology as part of their learning. I will describe the process of selecting models the expert instructional designer use when designing instruction for adult education with the use of assistive technology. Peterson-Karlan (2015), provided insight that when planning and providing the subject content the instructional designer should consider the types of assistive technology and education technology that are available where the course will be used.
This approved basic qualitative research study consists of semi-structured interviews, both online and face-to-face semi-structured interviews related to the research topic and problem. I am providing the online interview process to be able to reach as many experts in the field of Instructional Design who design and develop instruction for adult learners who use Assistive Technology in the learning environment as possible.
You are invited to be in the study because you are:
About twelve to fifteen participants will participate in this study.
If you decide to be in this study, your participation will last about one to three hours for the semi-structured interview and again for member checking the transcription of the interview. The member checking can be conducted via email or in person, whichever is convenient for you. The researcher does request the transcription be reviewed within 72 hours of receipt and the researcher receives the feedback at that time.
If you decide to be in this study and if you sign the consent form, you will do the following things:
You will be audiotaped for the semi-structured interview portion of this study only. I will then use the audiotape to ensure all information revealed in the interview is captured from your perspective. To ensure data accuracy, I will only use the recordings of you for the purposes you read about on the semi structured online interview formal consent form. I will not use the recordings for any other reasons without your permission unless you sign another consent form. The recordings will be kept for seven years and will be destroyed after seven years.
If you would like to be a part of my research study and meet the above criteria please email me at [email protected], [email protected], or contact me at 847-445-9140.
Thank you,
Jodi Allen
