Lab Wiki
Interactive walkthroughs for the methods and processes we use. Work through a module top to bottom, or jump to the lesson you need.
The modules all share one running example — a study of how CS1 students experience debugging — so the project you scope in one module is the same one you take through the IRB, interview students for, and analyze in the rest.
Project Management for Research
Scope a problem, plan your analysis, build an evolving timeline, and track your own progress — the living documents you own and drive.
Research Design & Measurement
Research questions, sampling, validity and reliability — the scaffolding under every study.
IRB & Research Ethics
When you need IRB review, how to write a protocol, and how to keep human-subjects research ethical.
Qualitative Analysis
Coding interviews and open-ended data, building codebooks, and reaching defensible themes.
Quantitative Analysis
From descriptive stats through regression, SEM, and IRT — analysis and measurement you can trust.
Mixed Methods
Combining qualitative and quantitative strands — when to mix, and how to integrate what you find.
Design-Based Research
Building tools and studying them: prototyping, iteration, and design studies in real classrooms.
Research tools
Utilities for day-to-day research work — no sign-in needed.
