Now Available: Facilitators’ Notes for Leading Online Courses in Research Writing

At INASP, including AuthorAID, we believe in making our initiatives sustainable. For example, when Prof. Barbara Gastel and I facilitate research-writing workshops, there’s usually a train-the-trainer component. This component prepares attendees to lead workshops locally. We also provide grants to support local workshops on research communication.

We’re now working toward sustainability in online training. Over the past year, online training has become an established AuthorAID activity. We’ve conducted 4 online courses in research writing, and the next one will begin in a few weeks. We think we now have enough experience to guide others in conducting online courses in research writing. Therefore, I’ve written up facilitators' notes.

If you have an interest in teaching research writing, we hope you will download these facilitators’ notes and read them. Then, if you might like to facilitate an online course in research writing, feel free to let me know (my email address is rmurugesan@inasp.info). I would be happy to answer questions and to provide guidance to help you get started.
