Coventry University link about inclusive dance

Check out this linkt to Coventry University about inclusive dance.

Well done to network for finishing another milestone - 3835!!!

Please stay in touch with the network over the next months - and over the summer - checking the blogs and making sure you have everyone on as Followers. Some people are starting their projects over the summer and others are waiting on events before they get going - probalby using the time to look for literature.

I will also try to keep people posted on what is happening here. We will look at proposals this month, and the board with final ethics approval is 10th June.

At this point, I'm sure everyone needs a short recovery break.

For those of you who have not, please send me your digital back up copies AND continue to make your own digital backups of everything that you have done. Several of our network have had computer problems right at the end of term, do back up back up back up on different dievices and memory sticks to ensure against break-downs and theft... Also blogging and emailing content help with some recovery if the worst happens.

Looking forward to reading all the proposals - and I have some final reports as well...

Cheers

Paula

Ethical Consent Form confusion

The Consent form that Avni sent out to you in your reminder email  is NOT the same as the writing you need to do for the Ethics Issues relating to Project Proposal  = 500 word.

Ethics Issues relating to Project Proposal is what you pass in now with your Ethics form. The Ethics form is the one that asks you to tick box who you are seeing etc.

The Consent form is the form that you can put your own title into and use after 10th June (after Ethcis approval has gone through the MDX board) to gain the informed consent of your participants if your are doing interviews. Laura-Beth asked if MDX had one - so it is handy to have one to hand out when you go through this process. You will be getting these signed later if you are doing interviews for WBS3861. t

Hope that's clears up any questions...

How is everyone getting on?

I have completed feedback and a weekend of writing about WBL within HE awaits me. How is everyone getting on?

The best advice is not to take things to the last minute as that is when the slight 'panic' sets in and it is actually more difficult to deliver university or work-related products. Try to build in time to calmly proofread the final when you are well-rested and have had a bit of a visual break from it - then you can see the piece of work better and make more effective judgments.

Remember to send a digital back up copy of your work to your Academic Advisor next week. Send your paper copy into Avni - she does not need a digital copy.

Quick note from Blaxter,Hughes and Tight book

I hope everyone is doing well - just wanted to notes taht the Blaxter et al book, How to Research, has good sections on case studies and qualitative analysis.

p. 71 "This might be the reseracher's place of work...or another insittuion or organisation, a school... O it might be just one element of such an organization:aclass,a work team, a community group... case studies ar often used to illustrate problems or indicate good practice."

BUT in describign what you ar doing - make choices and back up those choices - it can't be everything.

p.205 is the qualitative analysis section - more important within the project - but folks might be able to say now generally about expectations and approaches - for example mixed, qualitative or quantitative...
