Overview

This communication-focused program supports learners who already have a research question, project, or draft. Activities connect the contribution of a study with its intended audience, evidence, visual presentation, and scholarly conventions. Submission planning is educational guidance; selection by a conference or journal remains an external decision.

Learning goals and possible work

Proposed learning outcomes for this program example:

  • Explain the contribution and limitations of an existing project.
  • Develop an appropriate scholarly communication artifact.
  • Present findings and respond thoughtfully to academic questions.
