These and other questions are answered in a series of workshops offered by Holmesglen’s Centre for Applied Research and Innovation for its OctoberVET offering.
In 2024 Holmesglen Institute is offering a novel approach to OctoberVET. Scheduled over four weeks, we are offering a range of workshops on practical issues related to applied research: developing research proposals; surveying the literature; choosing a methodology and methods and communicating your research.
They are intended to for all researchers in VET who are either currently engaged in applied research or innovation or who are thinking about doing research for the first time.
Choosing a methodology and methods : 12.30-2pm, Wednesday 6 November
Quantitative vs qualitative - how to choose your methodology Hosted by Henry Pook
This session will explore different research methodologies, including pros and cons of each, and pitfalls to watch out for. If you have a preference for one type of research, this might be able to help highlight the useful nature of other types of research. This will also explore how different research methodologies can be applied to specific research questions, and how best to design research methodology.
When : Thursday 7th November 2024 Time : 4:00pm - 6:00pm AEDT, Teams online video conference.
This OctoberVET event showcases the applied research of VET TAFE teachers from around Victoria. These research projects have been undertaken as part of the new Graduate Certificate in Adult and Vocational Education program at Box Hill Institute.

Enabling Innovation in VETInnovation can take many forms in vocational education and training, from the introduction of pioneering approaches and practices in polices, systems, programs and curricula, teaching and training methods, and tools. It results in teachers, trainers and learners being equipped with the knowledge, attitudes, skills and qualifications needed to cope with technological, cultural, economic and demographic change.
This webinar will feature a panel of speakers from Europe and Australia to reflect on their own experiences in vocational education and training to discuss:
What innovation means to them and their organisations The drivers and barriers of innovation in VET The critical role of industry and educational partnerships in supporting innovation The role that individuals, organisations and governments can play in enabling innovation in VET.

Communicating your researchHosted by Henry Pook
Writing for Publication and Presenting at a Conference If you want to be published, having an interesting, original topic is only part of what is required: how you write is as important as what you write. But how do you ‘write for publication’? What are the skills required? What strategies can you use to get your work published?? What are some useful guidelines for success? Presenting at a conference. This workshop is aimed at those who have never presented at a conference or have done so only a limited number of times. Focussing on the basics of conference presentation, it discusses tips for selecting the right conference at which to present, the different types of conference presentations, how to formulate an Abstract and choose a title, how to formulate the actual presentation itself and, finally, how to deliver it.
