The Society for Research into Higher Education (SHRE) provides excellent workshops. Now online due to the pandemic, SHRE’s recent offerings have been free to attend. This one is, and our REEN Chair can highly recommend it:
|
Date – Friday, 16 April 2021, 11:00 – 15:00 SRHE Members Free |
Workshop presenters: Dr Mark J.P. Kerrigan & Dr Simon Pratt-Adams
Target Audience: MA/MSc/PhD/Academic
Workshop content: This workshop will focus on pedagogic research and the role of the pedagogic researcher in higher education. The focus is to support those transitioning into pedagogical research from another discipline. It will explore the interrelationship between learning, teaching and research at a time when there is increasing emphasis on multidisciplinary research across the HE sector.
It will consider the dual relationship between discipline-centred research and pedagogic research areas and the transitioning between these, with a focus on research methodologies and publication. Taking an interactive approach, this workshop will be an opportunity to share knowledge, experiences and develop strategies and networks between participants
Learning Outcomes: By the end of this session, the successful participant will be expected to be able to:
Assumed participant knowledge: Participants should have knowledge of what pedagogical research is and may have research experience at UG level or higher.
Materials required: Zoom including breakout rooms, Padlet

The Research in Engineering Education Symposium and Australasian Association for Engineering Education Annual Conference (REES AAEE 2021) will be held jointly on 5-8 December 2021:
We are delighted to invite submissions of papers and workshop proposals.
Structured abstracts (up to one page) should be submitted by 30 April 2021. Please see https://rees-aaee21.org/call-for-papers-and-workshops/ for details.
Looking forward to seeing you, literally or virtually, in Perth!
We’ve been investigating places to deposit data (appendices, supporting tables and charts) that can help readers of your journal articles but won’t fit in the print versions, or exceed the allowable page limits. It’s important to provide stable links, so readers in subsequent years can still access these files.
If you are affiliated with an academic institution, you can probably load your data into the library’s open-access repository, and then link your journal article to that.
We here at REEN have also asked Taylor and Francis publishers this question, as they publish AJEE and EJEE. The T&F representative wrote:
I’d suggest the author look at our Author Services page on data sharing, which gives some guidance on finding a suitable data repository. If there’s no suitable subject-specific repository, I’d suggest looking at generalist repositories like Figshare, which allows authors to upload data for free and mints a persistent identifier for the dataset (I think Figshare uses DOI).
T&F currently partners with Figshare to allow authors to upload supplementary material too, so this could be a suitable route.
We will keep an eye on this topic and post updates if new recommendations emerge.
Best,
Shannon Chance, PhD, Chair of REEN

Have you been following the decolonization of the curriculum discussion? And how have you been able to make adjustments to capture the context and history of engineering? One of the challenges is that the importance, in a Times Higher Ed survey, was ranked as more important by non-white respondents (53%) than white respondents (40%). Can we level the importance?
This is the kind of discussion we have on the Live Lounge Lunch session – a forum for learning and sharing insights. A free hour to connect and chat Sign up here for the Zoom link
Feel free to pass along to colleagues – we set the agenda by who is present.
As usual, our monthly round-up brings some tips, insights, and practical steps.
Good wishes for some sunshine and happiness
Jan and Helen
