ReCap guidance
ReCap is Newcastle University’s institutionally supported lecture and event-recording service. It allows audio and visual material, including the presenters’ voice, presentation slides and visualised documents, to be recorded and published online in an automated, easy-to-use process. ReCap is used primarily to record live learning events. However it can also be used to record additional learning and teaching materials such as asynchronous teaching content, student feedback, pre- and post-lecture materials, public lectures and conferences.
Academic posters are a visual form of communicating academic research, projects or literature reviews that often combine elements of text, diagrams and other media to convey ideas as effectively as possible. They have traditionally been used in hard science disciplines (such as medicine, physics or biology), but producing academic posters is becoming increasingly common within social sciences and arts and humanities disciplines as well. Academic posters are usually presented at conferences, exhibitions or networking events and you may be expected to accompany the poster to discuss your work, answer questions and provide additional information. You may also be required to produce a poster for assessment of a module.
Academic posters (about 1-2 hours).
A research profile can effectively showcase your publications and research data, promote your skills and knowledge, connect you with other researchers within and beyond the University and increase the impact of your research. A wide range of research systems can contribute to your profile as a researcher. This includes University systems such as MyImpact and staff profiles, external research systems such as ORCID and Scopus, as well as social networks such as ResearchGate, LinkedIn and Twitter.
This short course will help you explore research carried out through social media, including collecting and curating information, using social media to promote your research, and some pitfalls and considerations to be aware of.
