| Summary: | In this article we present a series of co-design sessions conducted throughout the 2019-2020 academic year, of which the aim was to plan and implement lessons on research methods for undergraduate and graduate students in the Interactive Research Methods Lab (IRML). The IRML is a brand new resource in the Bagwell College of Education (Kennesaw State University) that provides students with personalized instruction and practical experience in generating research designs, conceptual frameworks, and reviews of literature using Augmented Reality (AR) interactive contents. We followed the seven characteristic features of co-design as outlined by Roschelle et al. (2006) and structured sessions for co-design in accordance with Cober et al. (2015) and Barberá et al.’s (2017) proposed stages: a) Exploration, b) Envisioning, c) Operationalization, and d) Assessment and Reflection.
Successful implementation of the co-designed lessons and their integration with the IRML as a technological learning resource highlight the affordances of using a co-design approach to confront the inherent challenges in designing authentic and meaningful learning experiences when teaching research methods.
