Writing retreat - Editing - 1 August
Writing retreat - Editing - 1 August

This writing retreat was for all students (and non-students), studying at any level within any faculty. It was a space to develop writing skills and also to meet other students and academic staff at the Open University.

We finished on perhaps ones of the biggest ones, editing your work. In part 1 we looked at the key stages of editing the piece of work you are need to get through and set you the task of going away and doing the task. In part 2 we looked at how you got on and what worked, and what didn’t go as well.

Many types of study look for some specific structured writing, which may include case studies and experiments. These have a recognised formal series of steps that need to be followed along with their own special language at times. We looked at some good examples and showed you what you need to maximise your effectiveness.

Writing retreat - Writing for visual purposes - 11 July
Writing retreat - Writing for visual purposes - 11 July

This writing retreat was for all students (and non-students), studying at any level within any faculty. It was a space to develop writing skills and also to meet other students and academic staff at the Open University.

Increasingly within academic and employment life there is a need to communicate a message clearly using a visual mechanism, rather than text alone. Posters are used to give a clear snapshot of what’s important, and the art of PowerPoint is certainly not death by a thousand slides!

This writing retreat was for all students (and non-students), studying at any level within any faculty. It was a space to develop writing skills and also to meet other students and academic staff at the Open University.

In this second session we moved on a bit to writing that may have a wider audience or be a bit more purposeful. We looked at different types of writing you may want to consider in every day life, such as blogging, letter writing (yes gran would love to receive one from you!) and forum posts.
