The Action Research Plan also addresses them implementation of the innovation projects, the methods used to collect data, how the results will be communicated and a reflection of the entire process.  


The first assignment in this course required us to develop an Action Research Outline in order to serve as a guide for me to follow throughout the process of researching.  The second and most challenging assignment (for me at least) in this course is the Literature Review.  Although, searching for articles and locating reliable information can be tedious, I was able to locate information regarding benefits of ePortfolios and the challenges that some schools face with technology.  Lastly, our third assignment tasked us with creating an Action Research Plan.  This was one of the most interesting assignments I have worked on in the ADL program.  As I am nearing the end of the ADL journey, the Action Research Plan provides an opportunity to research the overall effectiveness of my innovation plan.  Although, I will not be able to put my plan into action until next school year, I was able to prepare ways in which to collect data and reflect on the future process.
