RAP RESOURCES
The Research Consortium (RC) is a faculty-driven organization that provides support to BCOE faculty and graduate students for research design, implementation, and data analysis. The RC initiative was launched in Fall 2015, and it has been operating since then offering its services to the BCOE community. This committee is formed by a representative from each of the five academic departments of the BCOE (Department of Elementary and Early Childhood Education; Department of Educational Leadership; Departments of Inclusive Education; Department of Instructional Technology, and; Department of Secondary & Middle Grades Education).
Some of the activities promoted by the Research Consortium are:
Monthly Write Days

The Interactive Research Methods Lab (IRML) is a new initiative in the Bagwell College of Education that offers an innovative space providing students and faculty with personalized instruction and practical experience of generating core qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research designs, using Augmented Reality interactive contents (ARC). The IRML offers: - a physical interactive space located in room BEB 403 in the Bagwell College of Education. The physical space provides an itinerary organized around the nine steps of Hopscotch. Each step is placed on a customized decal on a dry-erase surface, where users can write down ideas and make decisions based on the information provided via original augmented reality contents. - a virtual interactive space.

The IRML's physical space is located in room BEB 403
The IRML's virtual space includes a 360° virtual tour that replicates the physical space (see below). Both spaces are intended to help users develop well-informed research designs.

The Bagwell College of Education has three labs related to the promotion of innovative ways of teaching and learning:
Universal Design for Learning Lab (UDLab)
https://avatarlab.kennesaw.edu
The AVATAR Lab is a state-of-the-art laboratory in which students and faculty utilize mixed-reality technology to interact with avatars of children and adults, simulating a variety of situations and challenges teachers can encounter. Faculty and undergraduate students in the BCOE are also using the lab as a research resource.
The Innovation Lab serves as Bagwell's incubator for educational innovation. The lab is helping to create a culture of innovation in the Bagwell College of Education and support faculty, staff, students and administrators in developing an innovator’s mindset. The Innovation Lab is also used by faculty and students as a research resource to help the testing of innovative high-impact pedagogies. For example, faculty teaching undergraduate instructional technology courses have been conducting research in the Lab on how to better prepare pre-service teachers for technology integration, and how to cultivate pre-service teachers' computational thinking skills using the robotics and coding tools available in the Innovation Lab. Besides the research on pre-service teachers' development, studies concerning maker education have also been developed in the Innovation Lab. As a hub of Maker Camps and making activities, the Innovation Lab serves as an ideal place and resource for research opportunities on the topics of maker education.

Universal Design for Learning Lab (UDLab)
The Universal Design for Learning Lab (UDLab) is an assistive technology model classroom located in the Bagwell Education Building, Room 217. The purpose of the Universal Design for Learning Lab (UDLab) is to assist Kennesaw State University (KSU) in fulfilling its commitment to provide equal access to curriculum and instruction for diverse learners across the preschool-college-career trajectory . Universal Design for Learning addresses the "what, "how", and "why" of learning and facilitates curriculum content to be presented in different ways. Undergraduate students and faculty in the BCOE also use this lab as a resource for their research projects on how emerging, innovative, and assistive technologies help prepare ALL students, particularly English Learners and/or students with disabilities.
