How can I use technology to support my classroom teaching for students who can’t attend my classes? Some of my students care for whānau, and some hold part-time jobs and can’t always attend the classes I provide on campus for them. I post my notes online for them, but I want to provide something more dynamic and engaging for them online.

How are researchers using social media and does this fit within a Māori Kaupapa framework? There are so many tools, what are the best tools to use?

Academics are supposed to be innovative thinkers, yet sometimes it can feel as though the research process is crushing rather than unleashing our creativity. The techniques outlined in this article are designed to get academics thinking about their research from 'outside the box' of disciplinary norms and expectations.

This article examines the rationale for the introduction of PhDs with Creative Practice at the University of Auckland, the possibilities it opens up for indigenous scholarship, and the challenges that it might present prospective researchers.

As an early career academic, I would like to find out more about examining theses. Is some particular expertise expected? How do I find out how to examine a thesis? What if I am asked to examine theses with a kaupapa Māori framework, one I didn’t use myself?

Question

To improve the assessment of our evidence portfolios, researchers are urged to target A* ranked or international journals as the next round of the Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF) draws closer. I have tracked down subject specific impact factors for some journals, but not actual A, B, C rankings. Does a ranked list of journals exist for Māori related research?

Question:  

Rather than asking how tikanga Māori is applicable to the practice of teaching small groups, I would like to consider: what is tika when teaching small groups?

Question: 

It is interesting that the word “research” is used a great deal in our daily lives—especially in an academic environment. It seems to me to be such a “loaded” word that can carry a number of meanings—from the highly esoteric to the banal. There is also a certain mystery about it and even a certain ‘scary’ quality that people sometimes convey. While I have found basic texts on research methods very helpful, I would appreciate a de-mystified explanation of what research is.

What do I need to know about Information Technology to avoid preventable disasters in my doctoral, or other, research?
