Online resources
Research Supervision Toolkit
The Research Supervision Toolkit was developed through an Office for Learning and Teaching project (including VU’s Professor Ron Adams and Emeritus Professor Helen Borland).
This resource has been developed to give confidence to new supervisors in emerging research areas by providing ideas for dealing with common issues. It provides a forum for discussing thoughts, experiences and reflections.
