Collaborative discussion

Overview

Teaching: 10 min
Exercises: 40 min

Objectives

• Feel comfortable you can answer colleagues’ concerns

• Gain a wider view of how registration affects research as a whole

Breakout rooms

Find an appropriate breakout room and have a chat with the other people there. Make a note of points that come up in the collaborative editing document (Group Discussion section). You might describe your experiences, some of the advantages registration offers (as a reader or author), and some concerns you may have or may have heard about. If other people have written something similar, you can add ‘+’ to their entry, and whether you agree or disagree you can use a comment to add your own experience for context.

Breakout rooms 30 min

Have a chat with others in your breakout room.

• Briefly introduce yourselves to each other!
• What are the most important points or skills to cover in your workshop? What concepts do you think your attendees will be most unclear on or need the most guidance on?
• What do you (the trainer) not know about prereg/RRs that you want to learn before you give a workshop?
• How will you amend the template for your workshop? What is missing? What would you leave out or change?

You may wish to consult our workshop templates to help you:

Reporting back

One member of each breakout room can summarise the breakout group’s discussion for the rest of the attendees. What did you spend most time talking about? What did you learn from your fellow group members? Did you have any questions the group couldn’t answer?
