Abstract
With this article, CITE Journal introduces a series of examples designed to address one of the central problems of providing useful educational technology research: quality assurance. The entries in this series will serve as exemplars of each of several types of technology research study. Each will be an article re-published from a research journal, accompanied by a discussion that deconstructs the characteristics that make it a model for other researchers. This introductory article describes the challenges that must be met in order to do high quality research, discusses the criteria that will be used to select published models, and outlines the types of research studies represented in the series.
