Inquiry-based research is a complex multi-phase process in which specific technologies may be beneficial. The technology tools listed below are basic, yet tried-and-tested tools useful to the initial phases of the inquiry process.
TOP TIPS:
- Compare technological and non-technological tools; for example, recent research studies suggest that note-taking by hand has distinct advantages over taking notes with a laptop.
- Choose the tool(s) that best accommodate your purpose, audience, skill/confidence level, and setting (availability & ease of use for presentation context) — the P.A.S.S. test.
