Describe yourself in five words
Calm, Friendly/approachable (is this cheating?) Patient, Organised, Adaptable
Why did you do this research?
I wanted to measure the impact of the ISS programme on the students’ performance but it was also for my MSc in E-learning
What was biggest challenge you faced?
Learning SPSS and finding the time to do it because of juggling family, work and study commitments
Have there been any surprises in your execution or findings?
Students showed more confidence in their Internet searching skills before the intervention; in retrospect, they have less confidence than they first thought.
What advice would you give to someone new to research?
Never underestimate the time you have to finish the project and don’t worry about getting it all perfect or the outcome you wanted/expected; there is always room for improvement in future research.
