Virtual Research Training Hub
With an aim to help research students to improve their essential generic skills, the Graduate School is developing a virtual research training hub. Key to this brand-new platform is self-paced e-learning. While lecture videos are combined with a wide range of interactive content, a mode of asynchronous learning and teaching is adopted to provide flexibility for both educators and learners. The modules are featured with the following elements:
- Interactive thinking exercises and quizzes
- Pre-recorded videos
- Virtual discussion boards
- Links to external e-resources
There are two modules for research students to enhance their generic skills through self-paced e-learning so far.
Module 1:
Conceptualizing Research (Professor Paul Stapleton)
