Welcome to the Applied Research & Development Student Training
Program. Congratulations on deciding to take this online course. For
some of you, this may be your first online course experience. For
others, you may already be familiar with online learning. Taking an
online course is very different from taking a conventional classroom
course. The main difference is that you are not meeting on a regularly
scheduled day and time in a classroom. The hope is that you will
enjoy this format of learning and that you will have a positive learning
experience.

Course Overview
Course Description
This course introduces students to key concepts related to applied
research and development activities including the breadth of
resources (electronic and print) available for market research and for
searching the literature, ethical considerations related to the conduct
of applied research, and assorted forms of applied research projects
in College/Polytechnic contexts. In order to support student
engagement on applied research initiatives within a college
environment, students examine issues relevant to the conduct of
research including: project management; institutional policies and
procedures that support research activities; proposal development
and funding; as well as collaborating within multidisciplinary research
teams, internal and external stakeholders and industry partners. The
contributions of the research assistant to the many aspects of applied
research and responsibilities related to networking and disseminating
the project findings are also emphasized.
Course Outcomes
The course is designed in 3 parts:
Part 1: Research Literacy - emphasizes the student's understanding
