Abstract

There are lessons to be learned from undertaking ‘successful’ research, but we do not hear much about the lessons learned when your research doesn’t come-off. But in many cases there are some very important lessons that can be learned that others may benefit from, particularly for those who are new to research around the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), as opposed to discipline based research that is ‘reputedly’ conducted from a more empirical perspective. This paper reports on some of the lessons learned by two researchers from two universities on research that could have been done better in relation to technology enhanced learning (TEL). Why do we need to hear about these lessons? For the sake of our students; we want to improve our teaching and don’t want to make the same mistakes that others may have done.
