This is a series of nine modules that form a VLE course for first-year students on 'Academic Research'. The units have been written for Literature, Language and Linguistics students but could easily be modified to suit other contexts. Each learning unit contains at least one assessed exercise based on the content of that unit.

The Association Infographic is a dynamic learning object which illustrates the relationship between the higher education researcher and the scholarly professional associations. It also links together relevant peer-support communities for graduate and PhD students, postdocs, and early career researchers. An attached PDF document lists key organisations in a particular field (literature & modernist studies) together with details of the forthcoming meetings and annual conventions, and links to the association websites.
