QUESTION

What and how current technology is being used in universities to deliver education, and what future/upcoming technology can do in a university to deliver education,

The headers should follow as:

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Project Management (if not done as part of chapter 1)
Chapter 3: Literature Review / Secondary Research
Chapter 4: Primary Research Methodology
Chapter 5: Research Analysis (could be combined with ch 4)
Chapter 6: Discussion (secondary research findings vs primary research findings)
Chapter 7: Conclusion

My primary research will be conducted as a ‘anonymous’ questionnaire with the aim to gather information from current university students and how they are using technology at university and their satisfaction, and then gaining an idea of what technology they would like to see their universities using.

My dissertation requires a PID (Project Initiation Document) to be completed and put in Appendix A (template to be used will be in additional materials

ANSWER

Chapter 1: Introduction

In recent years, technology has played a significant role in transforming the landscape of education, including how universities deliver education to their students. This dissertation aims to explore the current technology being used in universities for educational delivery and investigate the potential of future technology in enhancing the educational experience. The primary research will involve gathering information from anonymous questionnaires completed by university students to understand their usage of technology at university and their satisfaction levels. The findings will provide insights into the existing technological practices and help identify areas where improvements can be made.

Chapter 2: Project Management

The project will follow a structured approach to ensure effective management and execution. A Project Initiation Document (PID) will be developed and included in Appendix A, following a predefined template (included in additional materials) (What Is a Project Initiation Document (PID) in Project Management?, n.d.). The PID will outline the project objectives, deliverables, scope, resources, and timelines to provide a clear roadmap for the research.

Chapter 3: Literature Review / Secondary Research

This chapter will involve an extensive review of existing literature and secondary research on the use of technology in university education. It will explore various scholarly articles, books, and reports to gain insights into the current practices, challenges, and benefits of using technology for educational delivery. The literature review will serve as the foundation for understanding the context and setting the stage for the primary research.

Chapter 4: Primary Research Methodology

To gather primary data, an anonymous questionnaire will be designed to collect information from university students. The questionnaire will focus on their current usage of technology at university, their satisfaction levels, and their preferences for future technological advancements. The questionnaire will be distributed to a representative sample of students, ensuring a diverse range of disciplines and universities for a comprehensive analysis.

Chapter 5: Research Analysis

This chapter will involve the analysis of the primary research data collected through the anonymous questionnaires (Calzon, 2023). The collected responses will be analyzed using statistical tools and techniques to derive meaningful insights. The analysis will include quantitative and qualitative methods to explore patterns, trends, and common themes related to technology usage and student satisfaction.

Chapter 6: Discussion

In this chapter, the findings from the primary research will be compared and contrasted with the secondary research findings obtained from the literature review (Paré, 2017). The discussion will highlight the alignment and disparities between the existing practices and the preferences of students for future technology in university education. It will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of technology usage and identify potential areas for improvement.

Chapter 7: Conclusion

The final chapter will summarize the key findings of the research, including the current technology being used in universities for educational delivery, student satisfaction levels, and their preferences for future technology. The conclusion will also discuss the implications of the research findings and propose recommendations for universities to enhance their educational delivery through the effective integration of technology. It will emphasize the importance of adapting to evolving technological advancements to meet the needs and expectations of students in the digital age.
