I have learned so much through this research course. The
most valuable lesson I learned is that I do not have to read the entire paper
to know what the research is about. I also learned how to conduct a research
and focus on one aspect instead of a broad issue that will make it difficult to
study. One of the challenges for me was finding the topic to research. Making
sure you create a schedule and stick to it is very important. I am so glad we
made it through this course. I will use what I have learned in the future when
it comes to research papers. Good luck to all of you in you r next classes to come.

The Early
Childhood Development Virtual University (ECDVC) is a program that addresses ECD
capacity building and leadership development in Africa. They have a large
support group that ranges from international, local, and employees of the participants.
Their mission is to further develop African ECD leadership capacity as a key
strategy in support of child, family and community well-being and broader
social and economic development. It is a unique
training and results-oriented program that uses face-to-face and distributed
learning methods including: residential seminars, web-based instruction, CD-Rom
and print material support, and a 'community of learners' strategy within and
among cohort countries (www.ecdvc.org).The
ECDVC is currently working on a great amount of research projects that span
across Africa. Below you will find some of their projects and the students that
are performing the study along with the country they are representing.

The
topics that I chose to highlight are topics that can involve my research
stimulation which is parental involvement. As you can see, this Virtual University
is committed to improving the quality of life for children and their families
in Africa. As I look farther into this website they offer you an opportunity to
review their evaluation reports so that you can see the authenticity of and
benefit of the program. I enjoyed traveling through this virtual university.
