Self paced training: Managing your data
Research data takes many forms, ranging from measurements, numbers and images to documents and publications. In these materials the University's Data Management team introduces practical ideas for organising your research findings to make sure you can access them quickly and easily in the future.
Self paced training: Community Engagement
This self paced training dips into some of the many 'what?', 'why?' and 'how?' considerations related to community engagement. The course is an invitation to staff and students across all University of Glasgow Schools and Colleges, as well as partners and communities, to explore, reflect and discuss community engagement.
Self paced training: A Stylish Thesis
Formatting your thesis so it looks like a professional document that follows the conventions of an academic dissertation is not something to leave to the end of the process. You can save yourself a lot editorial time by setting up and using templates and conventions as you go along. In these materials Blair Thompson from IT Educations takes you through the process, with a wealth of tips and tricks to speed up your typing as you go along.
