BU Research Blog

As we enter June still in lockdown, I wanted to share some of the online researcher development resources freely available to PGRs.

Virtual Workshops – many of the scheduled RDP sessions are being delivered virtually. In June we have the following virtual sessions taking place:

Publishing my research
Academic writing
Milestone preparation: Viva Voce examination
Social media for researchers.

Spaces are available, booking via the Researcher Development Programme.

Research Skills Toolkit – an online Research Skills Toolkit covering topics such as:

Becoming a Researcher
Research Methods
Disseminating your Research
Beyond Research
Research Ethics

You will need to set up an account on Epigeum, steps to follow to access the toolkit can be found on the Researcher Development Programme – Online Modules.

Video Arts – Comedy based videos and e-learning covering a range of personal and professional development topics. Personal wellbeing is a topic of huge importance but it is being particularly tested during this pandemic. Video Arts have complied a Micro-Series of content from their Wellbeing Essentials, selecting particularly relevant videos and supporting them with podcasts and other extras. It contains a mixture of videos, e-learning courses, podcasts, trailers and infographics.
Tip: Use the navigation within the e-learning, Brightspace navigation will take you to the next module.
