Highlights
The Research & Theory Division has worked
closely with other divisions and affiliates to
identify the following featured research
sessions. Featured Research papers report on
a completed research study that has not
been published in a journal nor previously
presented at a conference. The papers
describes an empirical study that used
primarily quantitative, qualitative or mixed
methods. The acceptance rate of the
Featured Research category for the AECT
2016 International Convention was 40%.
These six papers are highlighted in the AECT
