Academic Writing for the New 3rd Level Student
This Cloud has been created to provide an accessible and extendable resource for learners new to Academic Writing
The aim of this resource is to provide a central location for existing work on academic writing. Resources in this area of learning will include links to literature, links to college guides, and links to content with interactive learning pieces. This will be a live resource for academic staff and we hope you will contribute by adding links of your own and make use of the disscusion board for comment and feedback.
This Cloud has been generated by Malachy Mathews, Niav McEvoy, Robert Murphy and Pat Kenny as part of our Instructional Design and eAuthoring module for a Msc in eLearning from the Dublin Institute of Technology.

Hi All,
I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to access academic writing site on the link above. I have tried a number of times (5) from 2 separate locations and I am getting a message to tell me the link appears to be broken. I have tried been logged out or in.
Sounds like a really interesting resource and would love to see it, am I doing something wrong??
Many Thanks,
Mick

Hi all,
A very good resource.
I loved the avatar (although he was a tad small in the last screen), the content was excellent and the referencing quiz was very instructive.
A few comments:
More pictures on the slides to break up the content a bit
Maybe too much content on some slides
Need for a voice over to accommodate multi modal learning.
Overall though, a valuable resource. Will there be access later for students wanting to step up to third level?
