Privileging participant voice through multimodal representations in academic texts.
Dr Glenn Auld's research in using "talking books" in remote communities has led him to the current crisis. How can we privilege our research participants' voices when preparing our academic writing? Dr Auld's solution is radical. This presentation will use Feenberg's critical theory of technology as a theoretical perspective.

Networking over nibbles
This session aims to provide you with a useful networking opportunity while leveraging the intellectual capital in the room to answer a critical question: what are the significant issues of our time? Along the way we will also ponder a series of questions including: What are you doing? How can we support your research? How can we work together?

Students’ Participation in Virtual Learning Environments
Urai Salam (PhD candidate) will describe some findings of his PhD research on student participation in online learning platforms. Urai found that the majority of students became more motivated by the quick and easy access to the information, the richness in perspectives and the authenticity of experiences. However, some participants complained of being overloaded, confused, frustrated and distracted when collecting information and some had difficulty in interpreting and evaluating information they obtained.
