Hey, writers! Get academic research for free – without breaking the law –

Hey, writers! Get academic research for free – without breaking the law – | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From tashasuri.com - April 19, 2019 10:45 AM

A while ago I asked if any writers wanted guidance on finding free – and most importantly, legal – access to academic research online. About 190+ respondents said yes. So belatedly, here’s some advice on finding research without paying for it.

Writers need access to academic research for lots and lots of reasons. When I started working on Empire of Sand I wanted to use India’s Mughal Empire for inspiration, which meant I specifically needed to research the history, culture and politics of that era and region of the world.

How to Use a Source: The BEAM Method | Hunter College Libraries

From library.hunter.cuny.edu - November 17, 2015 4:02 PM

For any research project, you want to use a variety in types of sources as well as points of view. Some assignments will have certain requirements for the sources, in terms of genre of source (academic, popular), format (blog, print) and publication dates. To research a question in depth, the answer to the question of “how many and what type of sources do I need” is all of them. You need a variety of sources, both in type and point of view, in order to fully (or even partially) explore a research question.

102 Brain-Based Learning Resources For, Well, Brain-Based Teaching  by Sara Bass

 

Researchers in neuroscience, psychology and education are uncovering new information about how brains learn best at an unbelievable pace. We have more insight into the brain’s learning processes than at any other moment in history, and we are poised on the brink of a radical shift of how we think about education. Researching the conditions that allow brains to learn most easily enables innovation and optimization for learners in formal and informal settings.

Find OER | Open Professionals Education Network

Find OER | Open Professionals Education Network | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From open4us.org - May 4, 2014 3:22 PM

Reusing existing Open Educational Resources (OER) can save significant time and effort. The OPEN partners recommend TAACCCT grantees invest up-front time finding OER to reuse rather than starting development of new educational resources right away. A significant benefit of OER is that they provide source material to build your development efforts around. No need to invest development effort in creating something that already exists.

OER come in a wide variety of types. Many educators are simply looking for individual media elements to use within their courses, such as photos, graphics, videos, and audio, that are openly licensed in a way that freely permits education use.

The page below will help you find openly licensed media elements to use within your courses. To jump directly to what you are searching for use these links:

From www.makeuseof.com - December 1, 2013 3:10 PM

We’ve introduced you to a variety of quality image sites where you can find Creative Commons images, but the Creative Commons license goes far beyond just images. Different types of content are licensed online using Creative Commons — videos, music, and even blog content. You’ll find plenty of it online to share, remix and use commercially. When it comes to Creative Commons music — there are certainly no shortage of websites with audio you can use for any occasion.

Plagiarism [resources collated by InformED]

From www.opencolleges.edu.au - June 16, 2013 8:37 AM

Plagiarism resources...

 

It is a type of theft and fraud, and is closely connected to things like copyright infringement, trademark law, and violations of intellectual property rights. Though most schools and universities tend to treat plagiarism as an ethical problem and not a legal one, merely suspending or expelling students who are caught, many people have been sued for plagiarism and forced to pay back money or remove their copied product from circulation.
