Meeting notes:

Articles 1. First article to review is "Mobile Learning in Higher Education: An Empirical Assessment of a New Educational Tool". The critique is due July 12. 2. The components have been split up amongst group members. Be sure to review the handout provided by Dr. Smith entitled "How to Evaluate Quantitative Research Report" as well as the examples provided. 3. Each team member will also be responsible for writing a statement or two about the articles they submitted as part of the literature review section of the Research Proposal.

Instrumentation Plan 1. We have posted a question to Dr. Smith regarding the reliability of our 2 exams. This question was in response to her feedback on our submitted plan. We may be able to strenghten this part of the proposal by using textbook questions provided by the textbook publisher OR ensure all test questions are reviewed by a subject matter expert.

Threats and Controls 1. Dr. Smith suggested we change our proposal to be an experimental (not correlational) study since we will be manipulating our independent variable (M learning). Team agreed to do so. A clarifying question has been asked of Dr. Smith regarding this. 2. Team should review chapter 13 in book regarding experimental research.

Data Analysis 1. Team agreed to use t-test for data analysis for the 2 exams in order to compare academic achievement, and the chi-squared test for the survey. 2. Alyssa and Phillip will post the updated data analysis plan for final team review. It must be posted to course discussion board by 6/28 5 pm.

Research Proposal Paper 1. Discussion over better team division of the actual paper writing, possibly assign parts based on wiki postings and course discussion posting responsibilities. Alyssa will draft an assignment plan. 2. Use Word document with track changes option to share proposal draft within wiki.
