Abstract This paper investigates a method for increasing the involvement of marketing fourth year students in academic research, by encouraging greater participation in, and commitment to, their research project in the Applied Marketing IV subject. It is assumed that greater involvement will result in a greater pass rate. The study was initially conducted via action research, which involved the development of an electronic classroom and the testing of this classroom against a brief literature survey and a pilot test with colleagues who have knowledge of the subject (i.e. colleagues who have passed, or teach, on the programme).The findings were that a well-designed electronic class room could make a significant contribution to a greater pass rate, and thus a great er throughput rate by getting students more involved and participating in their research projects.
