This intro is intentionally lightweight—don’t rush through it! Invite learners to reflect on their own relationship with research and learning. Consider pausing to ask why they joined the course or what they’re hoping to walk away with.

Episode 1.3: How is Research Classified?
Instructor Notes
- Invite learners to label their personal project ideas using at least
three different criteria.
- Emphasise that labels may shift as a study evolves—research is iterative.

Episode 9.1: Planning Your Presentation: Audience, Message, and Format
Instructor Note
Pair learners on the Reflection exercise (“What do you remember from the last talk you saw?”).
Episode 9.2: Building Your Visuals: Slides, Posters, and Recorded Media
Instructor Note
Show the “bad slide” from Challenge 1 and ask, “Who can read this from the back?” before teaching anything.
Create a consciousness about presenting in low-resource or low-connectivity settings.
Where learners use different software, avoid prescribing a tool - focus on the principles, which are the same everywhere.
Discuss accessibility openly: ask who has struggled to read a slide, hear a video, or open a file, and what would have helped.
