Happy New year!

Welcome to the new year and a new term. We hope that you have managed to have a restful break and spent some time with your loved ones.

Is one of your new year's resolutions to start your research journey? Ever considered blogging as a first step?

What is WJETT?

The WJETT blog or Warwick Journal of Education - Transforming Teaching blog is designed to encourage staff and students to disseminate good practice and to engage with their peers on academic cultural critique or areas of research that they find interesting. With the increased focus on ‘teachers as researchers’ in the sector, many qualified teachers are expected to publish the outcomes of any action research projects they undertake. The WJETT blog can be the first step on your journey towards publishing and enables you to experience publishing and reviewing in a friendly and supportive environment.

Can I write about anything in my blog post?

Yes pretty much. Academic cultural critique (Thomson and Mewburn, 2013) is always a good source of content for academic blogs. This can include (but is not limited to) comments and reflections on funding; higher education policy or academic life. You might also want to consider blogging about:

• Academic practice (Saper, 2006)
• Information and/or self-help advice
• Technical, teaching and careers advice
• Your research or practice
• How you’ve undertaken research
• The impact of research on your practice
• An area of research/practice that interests you
• Your teaching experiences/reflections

How long can my blog post be?

Each individual blog post should be no longer than 500 words. Long blocks of text are sometimes hard for readers to digest. Break up your content into shorter paragraphs, bullet points and lists whenever possible. Also include a list of keywords or tags as this makes it easier for Google to find your work.

Do I need to use citations?

No, this is a reflective piece so it does not need to include citations (but you obviously can include them if they are relevant).

Can I include links or images?

We would encourage you to include links to any articles that you have considered whilst writing your blog post. We also welcome the use of images (as long as you have permission to use them) as they can often help to illustrate a point and obviously will not be included in the word limit. Please remember this is a public site so if you want to include images of your students in your classes then you will need permission to do this.

What is the process for submitting a piece of work?

Your blog post should be emailed to me at A.Ball.1@warwick.ac.uk. Once the submission has been reviewed it will either be uploaded at the beginning of the next available week or sent back to you for editing if it requires amendments. You should then send the amended work to me once again and I will then upload it onto the WJETT site.

Scholarly blogs part two

Scholarly blogs: An assessment tool to strengthen students’ personal brand by developing an online presence (part two)

Isabel Fischer, Associate Professor Information Systems and Management, WBS

As discussed here, as part of their assessments, WBS Digital Leadership and Design Thinking students submitted scholarly blogs as an authentic assessment in preparation for the digital workplace and to increase their online presence. Many students submitted very engaging blogs, getting readers ‘hooked’ from the start by asking and answering insightful questions. Some examples can be found here:

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the new year and a new term. We hope that you are feeling refreshed and invigorated after the holidays and would perhaps like to consider writing something for this blog.

Link to the CTE Multi Author Blog content

Writing about web page https://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/cpemab/

The Multi Author Blog or MAB is designed to help students to engage with reflection and to improve their academic writing. Many teachers use blogs (and other forms of social media) to disseminate good practice and to engage with their peers. Content from the MAB can be used to supplement your e-Portfolio in Mahara and may increase employability as many employers require evidence that candidates actively participate in and engage with the wider teaching community.

With the increased focus on ‘teachers as researchers’ in the sector, many qualified teachers will be expected to publish the outcomes of any action research projects they undertake. The MAB is the first step on your journey towards publishing and enables you to experience publishing and reviewing in a friendly and supportive environment.

Blog writing guidance

Please remember this is a public site so if you want to include images of your students in your classes then you will need permission to do this.

Who will review my blog post?

In the first instance Kate Mawson or Abi Ball will read your blog post. If the number of postings increases beyond what they can reasonably cope with then other academic colleagues in CTE will be asked to read your work. There is no peer review as such we read purely for QA.

Will the reading process be anonymous?

No. Due to the nature of the editing process on the WJETT blog it is not possible to anonymise the reading process, we will know who submitted the post.

Will my work be checked for spelling and grammatical errors?

We are not offering a draft post reading service - if anything really obvious is spotted we will let you know but we publish what you send so do please check your post over before sending.

What is the process for submitting a piece of work?

Your blog post should be emailed to either K.Mawson@warwick.ac.uk or A.Ball.1@warwick.ac.uk. Once the submission has been readd it will either be uploaded at the beginning of the next available week or kept on file for posting in the future, we have a content calendar to try to vary the blog output by theme.

How often will the WJETT blog be updated?

The blog will be updated once a week with a new blog . If we have more than one article per week these will be held in reserve and submitted gradually each week. This ensures that there is regular new content added to the blog.
