Research Topic

Provide a clear and concise explanation of the topic your team is researching. Feel free to tweak this explanation as your research progresses and your understanding of the topic increases.

Required Readings

Each project team will need to provide links to a set of required readings (from articles available on the internet). The purpose of these articles are to give insight to your classmates on your research topic and to highlight areas you feel are particularly on point or of interest. In some cases you may want to only assign a portion of an article (depending on its length).

For example, the following link will take you to an article on eDocuments in Information Week:

In general the total time required to complete the reading assignment should take no more than an hour to be completed. And the class will be required to finish the readings before a team delivers its final report.

Final Report

Each team should upload a copy of a powerpoint presentation slide set that they will use to deliver the final report on their topic. The presentation should take about 25 minutes to go through and, in addition, the team will be expected to field questions from the class after their presentation.

NOTE: In this class, as in the rest of your career, technology failures do occur! Be sure you have appropriate backups of ALL materials and deliverables. "My files disappeared" is not an acceptable reason for missing a deliverable.
