Am thinking of executing research seminars at the school am working; what do you think? is it a good idea to do? and for the departments or the school? your advice and recommendations are so welcomed.
That's all! Have a great day, all.. - Sundar
research seminars on topic of interest are always welcomed. bt i feel seminar on research methodology should b first aimed for. the students and residents and young faculty must take part and these should b as lectures basis but interactive and problem based
Get your layout ready, the objectives of your seminars, who is going to present, your audience and the no. of the audience and so on. I agree with Professor Singh, start with methodology.
There are a lot of benefits of research seminars among academic staff. Exchanging ideas, and interaction among academic staff are some of these benefits.
Dear @Raed, seminars are very useful to learn something and be involved in scientific thinking during and after the seminar.

Dear Mehdi - Yes research seminars are very important. All the best.
Seminars / Conferences are Knowledge share and Learn sessions for academicians
It is a good idea to bring interest in research among faculty members as well as in students. This exercise is advantageous when topics are related to the interest of audience. Faculty should be informed well before time and dedicated time is assigned for such activities so that maximum faculty memebers and students can take part.
Dear Vladislav Dombrovskyy, appreciated answer. I agree and will work on it.
Dear colleagues, your answers and recommendations important to me. Thank you. Sundar, many many thanks for your valuable notes, I do agree with you wishing to do them all.
Dear Ra'ed - I have coordinated this at IIITM-K weekly seminar event (Friday mornings reserved for this) at Trivandrum, India. The post-graduate students had a great time attending this, and the faculty used to watch this from their office system as we did a live web-cast of all our seminars. We recorded all video seminars also and kept in our digital library. This was found very useful by the new students at IIITM-K, and using keywords, they could get a relevant video talk in the video library. We call this event as "Get-to-Know" Seminar, and intend to help the students to get to know new topics. As a coordinator, I used to prepare many powerpoint presentations as back-up. If some speaker cancels his / her scheduled talk, I would fill in with my own talk in a relevant area. My best talks always are the ones prepared in a very short notice!
With wishes,
Sundar
Research Seminars on Technology is much useful for all the faculty members irrespective of their field. Such common areas not only BRAIN FEED everyone but also opens up PEOPLE Interactions and creates a right ambiance of SHARE & LEARN. Seminars are therefore useful for teachers and students/ participants for academic learning and application preparedness.
The seminars enrich the teacher participants' knowledge and promote effective methods with strategies to use to promote active student learning. Seminars are intended to promote reflective learning from experience as a main focus or in conjunction with learning from assigned texts and other secondary materials
As you said dear Ra`ed, esearch seminars among academic staff are useful. In ASU, we conducted many seminars in research methodology, statistical analysis, and other related seminars. These seminars enriched researchers knowledge and were very valuable to them.
This is one of the forum where students evolve to mature more and perform while at the same time teachers step down to student position to learn equally. This is one of the real time participatory forum for learning.
Dear Krishnan - The "Get to Know" series that I conducted at Trivandrum, India helped me in a lot many ways. As Prof. Mahfuz pointed out in another thread, for a speaker, not just the content - the posture, body language, voice, personality - all play a big role in delivering an effective speech. All my talks at Trivadrum in this Get-To-Know series were video-recorded by my friends there, and after 2 days, I shall get to see my talks in an interactive format - split screen - with video of myself, and audience on right side, and powerpoint slides on the left side. So, I could identify the places where I break sentences, language errors, wrong postures, and see where audience got bored etc.
Of course, we can't talk in a natural way when our talk is recorded live in a video, and when we have to face the camera and talk. We will get used to it in the long run!
Muchas Gracias!!
