Work through Research Laboratory studios

Before you begin

• Your institution has attached the Research Laboratory to your course offering.
• You are enrolled and can open Learning Experience for that offering.
• Studios unlock in order. Finish each studio’s required fields, list items (where shown), and checklist before Complete studio.

Stages

1. Frame the inquiry — Topic Selection, Literature Review, Research Problem, Research Objectives
2. Design the study — Methodology, Questionnaire, Sampling, Ethics Review
3. Analyse and report — Data Analysis, Discussion & Findings, Thesis Assembly & Submission

Questionnaire Builder and Sampling Studio both unlock after Methodology Designer. Ethics Review needs both of those finished.

Steps

1. Open the course in Learning Experience.
2. Launch Research Laboratory from Labs.
3. On the hub, open the next unlocked studio with Start studio or Continue studio.
4. Save your studio work, add any required list items (for example readings or questionnaire items), then save the checklist.
5. In Literature Review, you may attach an optional PDF or Word source file with each reading (stored privately for your offering).
6. Use Download PDF or Download DOCX on a studio page when you want a copy of your work.
7. Choose Complete studio (or Submit for lecturer review when your offering requires approval) to return to the hub.
8. If a lecturer requests revision, open the studio again, update your work, and resubmit.
9. After Thesis Assembly & Submission is finished (and approved when required), use Review studio to reopen completed work.

Tips

• Keep your topic and problem consistent across studios — the hub is one continuous Research Workspace.
• If a studio shows Locked, complete the studios named in the progress line first. Topic, ethics, or final submit may also wait on lecturer approval.
• Attached literature files are available only through the Research Laboratory download link — they are not public URLs.
