Abstract
Teaching research in higher education involves getting students to think critically, synthesize literature, evaluate ideas, identify and analyze issues, solve problems, and be organized. The instructional skills, learning objectives, and leaning styles that ought to be present in a traditional face-to face classroom are also crucial for achieving mastery in an online environment (McFarlane, 2014). Technological tools allow professors and students to streamline the learning process. However, technology is changing at a rapid pace making learning new skills and keeping up with digital natives a formidable task. This presentation showcases the most effective ways to become a 21st century research professor using mobile resources, cutting-edge apps, ubiquitous social media resources, and effective learning strategies. This presentation will focus on innovative ways of teaching these skills in an online qualitative research course.
