FYI Job interview questions
It is sometimes these simple questions that are the hardest to answer in an interview. I have seen some others looking to the Guardian for advice...

Module 2 - advice on topics and expertise for your inquiry
Module 2 is about planning an inquiry - learning about professional practice, ethics, and research tools along the way.
In this stage you have 'professional conversations' with colleagues ant work and in your special interest groups (peer groups) to help you think about a topics/area of interest and develop it so that you end up with a plan (the headings for the plan are in the Module 2 Handbook).
here is a 'messy' diagram - the IQs are the inquiry questions - what do you need to find out to develop a greater understanding of a problem-centred (Leavy) aspect of what you do. Is there something you need to understand in more depth in your workplace that will then help you and others to enhance practice? go into a future pathway? solve a problem for your workplace?
We also have some excellent books to help with this process
Look at these on the Reading list in the Module 2 My Learning module site or directly form the university library - they are online.
Here are 2 earlier blogs we did based on a campus session - we looked up topic of 'love' which is huge!!! - mind mapping helped to bring it into focus so then people could see what others said about the topic using key words.
Please have a look to help see how to do this bit on the links below..."Looking for love"

http://paulanottingham.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/campus-session-1-continued-what-we-did.html
Remember to use the library guides and Summon form the library links as well as Google or Google Scholar - don't pay for articles - the university has quite a few sources - but there could be a few books that might not be in the library. ALWAYS look first as many are now in digital form.
Look at Adesola's tutor blog for advice and the blogs of others on this module - as well as M3 and M1.
EXAMPLES of people forming/shaping their inquiries
Megan has done a lot of work thinking about Module 2 in terms of the topic and organising the workload for the plan and looking ahead to the ethics http://meganlouch.blogspot.co.uk/
I have just put ethics forms up for the Part 5 Ethics section that comes next...
Lizzie is going through this process now. As in Module 1 there are group sessions and then you can have 1-1 tutorials - talk in your peer groups (SIGs) and with work colleagues (not doing the research now) and then blog about the process!!
https://lizziebell92.blogspot.co.uk/
NOW is a good time to contact your tutor to talk through your thinking... this is such an exciting stage - but it can also be a bit frustrating!!
FYI I will be doing the next 2nd Module 2 session. Module 2: Part 5: Professional Ethics (Paula) Wednesday 26th October 8 pm on blog for sign up now!
Here is a blast from the past:

Look forward to as many as can attend - this is always a great session.
Bring any 'real life' experiences you have had in the past that might bring up ethical issues in your practice. Also we will be thinking about how these apply to your inquiry for the course - especially the ethics in your workplace and the ethics for the university as you do you research your topic in Module 3. Module 2 is planning but you need to get the right permissions.

Sign up for Module 1 session 8pm Wednesday 5th October GMT
Module1: Part 1 – Professional Communication
Technologies (Paula)
Wednesday 5th October at
8 pm online in the BAPP Arts Meeting
Room http://breeze.mdx.ac.uk/bapparts/ join this url. There will be a post
announcing this session on Paula’s blog.
RSVP in the comments of the post on Paula’s
blog. You will need headphones to
use this system – if problems occur will move to Skype for discussion.
In the first instance - come to the this link http://breeze.mdx.ac.uk/bapparts/ - you need headphones or there is feedback - there are directions on the Module 1 WBS3730 (WBA) site that CAPE has done for Adobe Connect.
It can be a bit tricky - but we should all be able to use the video when talking - however it could have the same quality of Skype in terms of connectivity - so we are still experimenting with this site and seeing how it goes (with Skype back up).
I will show a few slides - but we can also do that on Skype if I show my screen. I will set up a conversation and if people are having problems then I will with to Skype - or if when you sign up you know that you connection is a problem le the know...
Please update you Skype so that you will be able to join the conversation if we do Skype...
Let me know your preferences or questions as comments - if you cannot make it - I will put up the slides and we can chat another time.
