Question 2

In preparation for your Week 8 literature review, create an alphanumeric outline with relevant comments taken from the 15 (or more) articles you have collected in the previous assignments. Comments will be consistent with what you would use in paraphrasing a paper, including citations with appropriate APA formatting. Tutorials for preparing alphanumeric outlines are readily available through a Google search, including the example found in the Books and Resources for this Week. The alphanumeric outline will follow directly from the material in your annotated bibliography and will serve as the structure for your Signature Assignment in Week 8. Therefore, it must be well aligned to your research topic and subtopics, organized, and logical.

This exercise develops the specific text of the main headings and subheadings. Outlines use abbreviated topics, not full text that is useful in the actual paper. Your literature review may be organized differently because it will relate to the particular problem you are studying and its important points and aspects.Length: Outline 3-5 pages, not including the title and reference pages.References: Minimum of fifteen scholarly resources.Topic; Technology, It’s Effect in Higher Education.
