My Research Activities
Evaluation of the impact of the use of the electronic laboratory notebook on the student's learning experience and their career skills development
The aim of this project is to
1) evaluate the impact of the integration of electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) on the undergraduate students’ practical learning experience,
2) identify the impact of the use of ELN on the general research practices of the postgraduate students,
3) discover the role of ELN as a tool to enhance graduate capabilities (collaboration and communication) to develop global citizens of the scientific communities.
