About

As an ICT student or professional, you need to solve all kind of ICT challenges. Answering the questions and tackling the problems or opportunities of your ICT project requires research and often a combination of various ICT research methods. The toolkit on this website offers you a set of possible research methods and a framework to select the appropriate (combination of) methods.

The ICT Research Methods Pack is a card set with research methods for design-oriented research within ICT, developed by HBO-i. The set is suitable for use within ICT courses such as the broad ICT bachelor, business informatics or technical information. With the set you can orientate yourself on research methods and plan your project. The methods contained in the map set fit with the different research strategies of the Methods Map Practical Research, an internationally recognized framework for design research.
