COURSE OVERVIEW
Our Academic elearning course was commissioned by Liverpool University to ensure students are aware of cheating, plagiarism, collusion and the penalties.
This course will be mandatory for all students and has been designed for three groups of students.
- Undergraduates
- Postgraduates
- Postgraduate research students
The courses will be built in Storyline with 2 visual styles – the Undergraduates version will be more funky and bright-coloured, while the Postgraduate version will have a more corporate look and feel.
Training for PhD Supervisors
This academic elearning course has been designed with Hull University for new and existing members of staff to ensure best practice in supervision.
It will keep PhD students on track and embed good practice in supervision.
It is built in Elucidat which means learners can access the training on any device.
The course aims to:
- ensure supervisors provide timely feedback
- ensure students maintain momentum to complete the course
- address student issues such as, personality clashes with supervisors and tackling demands by supervisors to use specific methodologies that students don’t understand.
Research Ethics
Working with Staffordshire University we developed this course for academics, researchers such as psychologists, social scientists, even game developers.
Essentially it’s for anyone carrying out research – on humans, animals even human tissue – that could have an impact on the users.
The course helps learners to answer the questions “Does your project need an ethical policy?” and “How do you build an ethical policy?”
Real-life scenarios and imagined scenarios will assist learners to consider the ramifications of their research, including a checklist of priorities which include:
- an academic case study involving falsified on climate change
- a psychological case study about the famous Nilgram Project that asks the question: Why do people follow authority?
- a data confidentiality case study about stolen Sony Playstation data
The course takes the view that social experiments can cause undue stress to participants.
The outcome, in certain circumstances, of publishing data can be catastrophic resulting in bad PR, employees losing their jobs, or being banned from publishing in academic journals.
Potential audience for our Academic Range of elearning courses:
- NHS Organisations
- Educational Institutions
- Game Studios
