Dear friends of CRECS,
I am proud to announce the launch of a new open-source video research dissemination series called the Ten Minute Window (TMW). The TMW provides a platform through which researchers, within the space of no more than 10 minutes, may disseminate encapsulated summaries of their research findings or conceptual contributions. Content may range from findings associated with a specific 听study or a research program more broadly defined. Submissions are welcome from researchers working in education and the social and health sciences whose contributions align well with CRECS鈥� mission:
The Centre for Research on Educational and Community Services (CRECS) collaborates in research, evaluation, and training 听with organizations in the educational, social service, and health sectors to improve social programs and policies for citizens, especially those facing social exclusion.
Through the TMW听CRECS intends to accelerate the dissemination of cutting edge research on educational and community interventions, and innovations in research and evaluation methodologies and to make such contributions widely accessible to research, educational, professional and lay communities.
Issues in the series are produced听by CRECS听and will be published听in the CRECS video library (听see knowledge Mobilization > Video Library) and made broadly available through the CRECS听YouTube Channel. The video segments will be produced in either French or English with closed captioning available in both official languages.
Volume 1 (2013) of the series consists of six episodes on research topics ranging from participatory evaluation to children in care to Photovoice to homelessness. The number of episodes per volume will vary; several are in the works for Volume 2 (2014).
Check out this years鈥� editions, and many more to come in the new year.
