Library Guides: AAA Education Team Master Guide: Research skills resources for Education (All resources)

Notes

Copy of the index page of https://unimelb.libguides.com/ed-research-skills which was decommissioned in 2020. this was a collab between the Library team and Academic Skills
There were extensive links to this in the LMS so it is redirected to https://unimelb.libguides.com/ed-tutorials
The method of describing the resources was succinct and so this copy is for future inspiration

Introduction

Welcome

The Research Skills Resources created by Education Librarians and Academic Skills Advisors will support your research and academic skill development. The skills you need depend on your context - the tasks you are faced with, the subject requirements and your prior knowledge. To ensure the resources are relevant to you, they are grouped by typical student needs.

About the Resources

The activities are practical and incorporate a variety of digital resources, such as videos, online quizzes and short self-paced activities to support reflection, self-assessment and develop your research and academic skills. Each resource has an estimated completion time.

Explore the Student Profiles

These profiles have been created with different needs in mind. Use them as an entry point to explore the skills you would like to improve. You may like to move from one profile to another.

We would like to hear your thoughts let us know if there is something you need help with, something missing or something you really liked.

	Mark “People see me as self-motivated, savvy with technology and a leader in my school. There’s never enough time in a day when you live a busy life, have a family and hold a demanding position. Returning to study is a big step but I feel confident that I have the core research and academic skills. Can you help me to get across the advances in the academic environment?"
	Jenny “This course is highly relevant to my area of expertise as an educator. It's been a while since I studied and I know that uni has changed so much. I want to be confident and I need to revise the building blocks of research and evidence-based writing. Can you enhance my skills and support my academic success?”
	Ami "It is my first time studying overseas and I need to learn more about the academic expectations of this University. I hope to continue to build my English skills by making friends and through my studies. Can you support me with academic writing and accessing library services, especially research skills resources?"
	Carlo “Like everyone, I may not always be able to devote as much time as I would like for my studies. Can you help me navigate to the core resources that will provide me with quick help to complete my assignments?"
