People had some good questions/comments for - some conversation about the areas of discussion are below:
what
is the professional artefact - the professional
artefact is like the critical review - both present the inquiry you have
undertaken - one is more in the reportage 'formal' style with text
/images/audio-visual as needed to show what you have done - there are suggested
headings for this
For the professional artefact you choose another audience - and present
the work you have done with that focus - we will speak again about the artefact
- there have been bogs in the past about the artefact
what
is the literature review - several previous blogs - it
is an summary overview of the sources that have informed your thinking - if you
do an extensive writeup it may need to go in the appendices because you won't
have room in your Evaluation section.
can
we go to a local university to use the library? Yes -
go to SCONOL http://www.sconul.ac.uk/sconul-access and you should be able to
access the other university libraries in your town - apply online
how
can special interest groups and peers to help the process? - talk with others about what you are doing - but also touch
base with your advisers about academic decisions - we are sometimes in on these
conversation and sometimes not - they are put in as supporting evidence of your
thinking - so blog as well
How
can data be shown and visualised? yes graphs, grids,
images, audio-visual - all forms of communication are useful depending upon 1.
what you are saying and 2. how you want to say it - look at how others have
communicated in the archived blogs
Please note there is a suggested task list for Module 3
and the arrow can help you visual where you are in the process!!!
SEARCHING FOR LITERATURE
Amy said she was having problems
with sources that debated about NOT using arts in schools - sometimes it takes
a bit of looking but my hands wandered over the keys to make a start - see if
ay of these give you any ideas?
Look using keywords...use the Summon feature form the Library on MyUniHub for 'in-house searching - try to find sources that challenge your pint of view!
Here is at the beginning of a sample search with someone like Amy in mind - I am trying to find reports form government - I am trying to get 'think tank' reports- and these might lead me to other research that examines the question of arts in the curriculum (not as a good thin but as secondary to the core subjects). I don't think the search is finished by the way - but can people continue the dialogue on the blogs - you might have some good suggestions on where to look for this topic area...

(key words for searching)
There are usually sources out there
- go shopping for sources that make you think critically about your area -
expertise - that resonates with your experience and the experience you are
gathering as data.
