Welcome to our ORM blog. This is our first attemp at blogging, our first attempt at designing an online distance learning module and our first experience of working with JISC, lots of firsts and lots of new experiences.
The ORM project was set up to develop and run an online research methods module aimed at international finance students and professionally qualified accountants in industry and the public sector. The module will introduce students to research methods and guide them through the process of developing a research proposal for thier masters dissertation. ORM is a 10 credit module at level M, and is core on our portfolio of Financial Management masters progrommes. Using online delivery we hope to increase flexibility of access, enabling students who can not attend traditional programmes of study to engage with a masters degree at UWE. In many cases these students will be professionally qualified accountants who have no experience of academic research methods or how to start writing a research proposal. This module will use internal and external materials to introduce a variety of research methods and to guide students through the process of designing their own research question, choosing a relevant and practical research method and producing a research proposal that will start them on the road to completing thier masters dissertaion.
We look forward to sharing our expereinces with you and wish you all success with your individual projects.

Great to see you've got started with the blog. I hope you find it a useful way of reflecting on the process, the pleasure and the (sometimes, but not a lot I hope) pain.
