Abstract
Where does making students research ready (e.g., thinking like a researcher, developing a research question, negotiating the information ecosystem) fit into your teaching? In this session, participants will discuss how,
when, and where they believe developing students’ research capacity takes place. Participants will also receive an introduction to a repository of online resources, eCampus Ontario, and one of its recently funded initiatives,
www.Student2Scholar.ca (S2S), a fully online, self-paced suite of learning modules for social science graduate students. Whether you are teaching senior undergraduate students, a graduate seminar, or are otherwise supporting novice researchers, you will be provided with practical guidance and helpful tips to augment your instruction with online learning activities that will build students’ academic literacies and research skills.
