LMO:Month 10 Action reseach blogpost

Nwokocha-Chuks-Month-10- Action Research Blog post
Is there a connection between the data produced from your cycles and the research reported in your Literature Review?

My literature stressed the fact tat parole supervision of parolees is affected by high caseloads and paper work, among other factors.. My data from previous cycles(observations, interviews with parole agents in the field and response from questionnaires) showed how paperwork and high caseload were related to close supervision of parolees. So there is a connection between parole agent supervision, high caseloads and the findings from literature review.

How will LMO impact your Action Research project?
My take from LMO so far has been the understanding about CMS, LMS and LCMS In addition I also have appreciation for the Tools of the trade especially the gaming strategies and Intelligent tutor. Although they seem not have an immediate relevance on my Action Research yet I am interested in applying this new information to my teaching environment. The understanding I have about these new knowledge has a direct impact on my Udutu project and the assessment tools I could employ in the course development. I shall also apply them in Udutu course development or rather in content creation of learning experiences.

How is online content delivery or personal learning environments to your Action Research project?
Content delivery of learning in my action research has to embrace the collaborative format as well as the two way communications system. For example, my blog posts have a comment section that allows for feedback from visitors. This an example of a two-way communication structure. Although my Action Research shifted from purely academic environment to a work place environment yet the collaborative and interactive need of any learning content needs attention. Besides, having the site being user friendly is important to me. All these arise from experiences gained from LMO.
