This workshop will also discuss a range specific ethical considerations: participant consent (inc GDPR), anonymity/confidentiality, mechanisms for participant/data withdrawal and data storage.

Webinar Workshop 2 - Series
Title: Writing for publication
Broadcast Date: Wednesday 8th, Thursday 9th and Friday 10th July 2020
Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 noon BST (UK time)
Location: Online Zoom Meeting Space
Presenter: Professor Sally Brown, Independent consultant
About the webinar
Many in academia are keen to write for publication but making it happen is difficult for diverse reasons including not being able to get down to the task, not being clear about where to publish and not understanding the rules of the game. This workshop for novices in writing about learning and teaching in higher education spread over three days will give you a chance to set up your own mini-writing retreat at home, with sessions guided by Sally each morning from 10-12 by Zoom. While Sally won’t be able to critique individual participant’ work, this will be an opportunity to take advantage of the expertise on hand to make this a really productive time for your publications.
The sessions will be interactive and flexibly organised but are likely to include:
Session 1 Wednesday 8th July: Getting started
Session 2 Thursday 9th July 10-12: All about journals
Session 3 Friday 10th July: Planning for success
By the end of the sessions you should be well placed for achieving your publication goals.

Follow on session
There will be a follow on networking session led by Dr Duncan Cross and Sue Beckingham on 13th July 10am-12 noon for those who have attended either of the above workshops. This session will give you an opportunity to network with global PebblePad users to identify shared areas of research, and teaching and learning through the use of PebblePad. From this you will also be able to identify national and international collaboration opportunities for research and sharing practice. You will learn tips on how technology can be used to aid remote collaboration and network.
Later in August, PebblePad’s own Dr Jenny Masters will be running a workshop on reporting and publishing. This workshop will help you to frame your PebblePad implementation as applied educational research that will be suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Details of how to join these additional sessions will be shared at the end of the online workshops.
