CIRI Blog Overview

iSchool faculty members have their own blog to share updates on their research projects, innovative ideas for advancing online teaching and learning, experiences with emerging technologies, thoughts on research methods, and whatever else is percolating in their minds. It’s a treasure trove of inspiration and knowledge.

New posts are published monthly. We encourage you to visit the blog often and share your comments.  

The most recent blog post was authored by Dr. Anthony Bernier. He discussed his experience of offering an experimental 1-unit course on pursuing a PhD program. Read the blog post on CIRI Blog.

“This summer I offered an experimental 1-unit course to our masters students, giving them the opportunity to explore informational resources, processes, academic skills, and other considerations in thinking about pursuing doctoral studies. We addressed the application & selection processes, academic culture, and the resources pursuing a PhD requires as well as, necessarily, a variety of career prospects that, more than ever, must include awareness of volatility and precarity, if not outright attack against scholarship, expertise, and even evidence!” - Dr. Anthony Bernier
