Sandra Brower will take you through the session via a recorded session with resources and practice spaces available for you to complete the work online. While we launched this course on 1st March 2024, it is available to you to enrol and begin any time. Simply click the green 'Enroll' button to add the course to your dashboard. We would encourage you to allow 2 hours for this session, though as it is self-paced it does not need to be completed in one go. Return to it as often as you require and enjoy the process of learning to read for research.
