Welcome to The Combined Honours research blog!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What the blog aims to do:<\/p>\n

Place to stimulate your interests<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Combined Honours Research\u00a0site does not aim to be a comprehensive ‘interactive bibliography’ on all things ‘Newcastle’. Instead it provides a foundation, a collection of interesting, multi media, multi format, multi and cross disciplinary resources for you to dip in and out of and stimulate your interests and ideas.<\/p>\n

Offers scope and breadth: models interdisciplinarity of ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout this blog we have linked and tagged sources, aiming to show you how the information spans across disciplines and relates to different subjects simultaneously. In this manner, it is easy to see how the sources have originated in different contexts, for different purposes.\u00a0Great research projects tend to include a breadth of research (so using sources that originate from different contexts and have different purposes) and a depth of research (so this is where you then investigate your chosen topic further, thinking about and considering the topic at a deeper level).<\/p>\n

Open, productive and collaborative\u00a0research dialogue and engagement <\/strong><\/p>\n

What we would love to achieve with this blog is\u00a0an archive of student and staff work, wherein we can capture some ‘depth’ to add to the early breadth of the blog as it stands.\u00a0We encourage you to see Combined ‘research’ as a sharing and collaborative community, and so\u00a0adding, commenting on, posting, contributing to the blog as you go\u00a0would be much valued.\u00a0The Combined Honours research blog aims to simulate a real life research environment; we aim to show that ‘research’ doesn’t\u00a0and shouldn’t exist in\u00a0isolation, and by the process of sharing and\u00a0interacting with each others ideas and projects, we create a healthy and productive research dialogue.<\/p>\n

Modelling platforms to present, ways to engage and audience<\/strong><\/p>\n

In short, this is a\u00a0collaborative interactive bibliography that we aim to grow over time. It provides a good place to initiate and spark your own research ideas. Each clip, sound-bite, link, description, article, chapter, diary entry etc.\u00a0included, aims to be short, offering a taster, a snippet of an idea, from which\u00a0you can grow your own project and \/ or, weave some of the blog site ideas together. We have provided numerous examples of presentation\u00a0styles and formats too, such as Prezzi, biteable, YouTube (using film editor) etc.\u00a0as we\u00a0hope that you will experiment with presentation style and format too, in order to think about how to best engage an audience with your research.<\/p>\n

A research archive: longevity and purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n

We look forward to your final research project\u00a0contributions\u00a0being part of our\u00a0collective bank of research forever more. The longevity, use, purpose and dissemination of research are important issues for\u00a0all researchers, and so with this blog we hope to offer you a place to publish and showcase your work in a live, useable and working research environment.\u00a0We hope the blog (which we aim to make ‘public’ ) will help you get your work\u00a0recognised and your names credited with your findings.<\/p>\n
