Research Collective, live event Edinburgh December 12th 2022.
If you missed the launch event, it is not too late to join in!
Beyond the Obvious is a research collective focused on learning lessons from the pandemic to apply to academic conferences. We identified six themes:
- Language - Padlet
- Technology - Padlet
- Third space professionals - Padlet
- Costs - Padlet - Provocation
- Belonging - Padlet
- Learning from Pedagogy - Padlet - Provocation
Follow the links to padlets with notes and the provocations (slides) provided on December 12th. We anticipate interested parties grouping together to engage in research based on one or more of the themes. We invite researchers to join us online or in person in a year's time to share our findings. While researchers are welcome to disseminate their work as they see fit, we are keen on open educational resources.
This is an experiment in community based research.
