Research, Write, Create Connecting Scholarship and Digital Media

Research and writing - essential skills for academic inquiry - are at the core of undergraduate and graduate studies. Research, Write, Create: Connecting Scholarship and Digital Media is a concise and essential book that guides students through the task of writing proposals, term papers, and major research projects. The authors, both experts in media literacy and digital projects, place traditional research methodology within the present research context, allowing for the incorporation of newer digital tools throughout the process.

Research, Write, Create is the only Canadian research text that enables students to envision a research project, execute comprehensive research within digital media, and make use of new tools available through schools, libraries, and the Internet. As both an advanced research and writing resource and an essential guide to conducting research and conceiving projects in a digital world, Research, Write, Create will have appeal to a wide range of students.
