Description Two individuals will be recruited to design a research study with both qualitative and quantitative aspects, and conduct their research in tandem over the course of a semester. This internship is designed to give students real world experience and allow them to apply what they are studying to an environment outside the classroom. Interns will work closely with Learning Ally, but will design and develop their own projects with help and guidance. They will also have the space to pursue the goals in an open-ended, goal-focused environment. Design The internship is designed to give interns experience in the practical applications of their studies, and allow them to practice creative problem-solving. They will have the opportunity to conduct research in a business environment rather than an academic environment, and their findings will directly drive product development. Their work is directly relevant to questions that Learning Ally is currently facing, and the internship will be an interesting and practical look into how a non-profit structure adjusts to meet the needs of its target population.
