OPSITARA Research
Welcome to this month's issue of Relevant Research, featuring stories from several design disciplines, as well as Sport, Business, Nursing, Engineering Technology and Information Technology. We were involved with many events during TechWeek and are particularly pleased with how well the TEXpo went - you can read more about that below.
This coming month we are launching our Education series of public seminars, to complement the other events we have planned for the year. The first two of these are on 26 June and 3 July, with Associate Professor Caro McCaw and Philippa Kearney presenting on global partnerships, and Dr Glenys Ker talking about her model for facilitating learning. Details of these are available online here. These seminars will be of interest to all those interested in innovative and research-informed best practice in education.
