Urgent submission notice

 

Dear BAPAP Community,

Liam and I experimented to submit a Powerpoint slide show with embedded videos and sounds as Module 2 assessment yesterday. Big thank you to Liam for helping me with it.

It turns out that I only receive slides, but no audio or video on one portal. The other one does not accept powerpoint slides at all.

Please submit video files only and record the presentation as Mp4 files.

If anyone has a slideshow with embedded videos, then use zoom to record the screen whilst running it. You are not required to redo anything you already have. Just record the slide show.

I am aware you all want super flashy presentations, but bear in mind that we do not mark you on your filming, editing etc. We need to be able to see and hear you and any slides or visual materials.

If anyone has problems submitting, please immediately drop me an email so that I can help and advise.

Best wishes,

Astrid

Presentation of Research proposal Module 2

 Module 2 and the focus on your research proposal are a good point to reflect on what you consider important to your practice. 

 

The Ethics applications will be reviewed by us tutors and then by the Ethics Committee. So for now, give us some time and we get in touch should be we need anything, clarification or changes. 

 

Your presentation assessment is due on 29 Jan 2024 Kaltura video upload by 23.59 GMT

 

 Presentation format:

- 15 mins recorded oral presentation 

- ensure that you are visible for the duration of the presentation 

- upload to Kaltura media Dropbox on Myunihub

 

Presentation contents: 

 - introduce yourself and your topic

- outline why you wish to explore this topic / why it is important to explore

- Literature review: outline who researched this topic already? What main points of their work do you take for your research? How will this helps you? 

[we know you are still continuing to research, but you can already refer to some materials that are important and let us know why and how you intend to use them] 

- data collection and ethical considerations: outline what data you will collect, who are your participants and what can they contribute to your research. Consider what you do with this data (ie how do you think you will use it?) and talk about any other ethical considerations in relation to your data collection, participants or research

- Summarise your presentation (very briefly = 1 sentencce) and talk about what you hope to find 


Do not forget to add a slide with your bibliography


I am allowed to share a draft presentation with you. It is uploaded to Myunihub in the folder containing samples of student work  https://mdx.mrooms.net/mod/url/view.php?id=2835506&forceview=1 

Please note this is a draft. It is good, but too long and will still be worked on to finalise. Think yourself of what you might to differently or how you think it can be made just a notch better. And think a big thank you to your peer for allowing me to make it available. 


Final point. I reposted the talk on how to give presentations. It gives the above plus a little bit on how to present. Have a look in the Zoom recordings folder.

IT trials and tribulations

 Dear BAPAP Community,


There I send you and email this morning, go to campus and am now locked out of everything. I spent the afternoon updating, but I am told the newest update is not compliant whilst I am locked out due to my password having been leaked. ?????

So, I cannot access emails or Myunihub. Please bear with me. I will be spending tomorrow morning to hopefully sort it. Fingers crossed big time.

Please share the news and bear with me. 

Continue to work on your presentations. I will read ethics forms etc the moment I am back on all systems.
