We've been mulling over titles.
Our working title is accurate but not catchy: "Practice-based research and evaluation in technology-rich environments".
We know that titles matter: some of our older course titles have been said to be too wordy, or to tell you very little about the content of the course.
Some colleagues have suggested we put "eLearning" in the title, and that "practice" is a off-putting "academic-y" word. Others like the word "practice" because of its connotations of practitioner enquiry, practical reasoning, and social practices, and because it doesn't restrict the audience to teachers and lecturers.
Another issue for the title is that the course is supposed to be not just about researching technology-enhanced learning but also about the use of technology for educational research.
What would you call it? There's a small prize for the suggestion we like the best.
