The study was conducted with ethics approval from UAHPEC
(Ref. 020322), sought to identify student and
staff perceptions of the usefulness of the resource for the completion of the
in-course assignment and its possible impact on the development of research and
academic writing skills. Data was collected through pre and post student and teaching
staff surveys, weekly student reflective journals, and an informal interview
with the course co-ordinator and one of the lecturers. Learning Analytics data
from the CourseBuilder site was also collated and analysed.
