"Package your research ideas for a wider audience"
The 'package' is the sales pitch. L&T tools and social media can help communicate your research more effectively, to academics, students and wider community. Below is a range of ways (in no particular order) to package your research to make it seen, heard, read more widely:
1. Digital Animation & Illustration
example: https://twitter.com/LiliaMantai by fiverr, also try Bitable, and talk to your L&T support or Learning Innovation Hub staff
2. Podcast
example: @tandfonline 15 mins to develop your research career
3. Blog & Vlog
example: Teche, MQ's Learning and Teaching blog
4. Cartoon
example: Taylor and Francis online
Contact our very own in-house digital illustrator Fidel Fernando Fidel.fernando@mq.edu.au at the LIH if you want to turn your research ideas into an engaging cartoon or illustration for your students and peers.
5. Video
example: video abstract on 'Let Teens Sleep' research, and again, talk to your L&T support or Learning Innovation Hub staff
6. Infographic
7. 'Slides' other than PowerPoint presentations - share and make them open access!
Try Prezi, SlideBean, or Adobe Spark!
