About the course
The Digital Researcher will only take you less than an hour a day. You can do this anytime in the day - so it is completely flexible to your workload of the day. The course is delivered online through Canvas so you can take part wherever you are. You just need access to the internet.
The course is split into two segments. The first three days focus on online networking and scholarly communication. The final two days focus on conducting online research.
