   Episode 002 - Online Academic Research

   Using the web for searching academic research sources can be misleading, especially if you are a novice, searching for academic resource online demands researchers to familiarize themselves with online archives to make finding information faster and easier, by so doing a researcher can easily search and evaluate resources. Citations Academic writing requires proper documentation of sources, including the correct use of a citation style such as those listed below. You must cite your sources for any information or ideas that are not your own or considered common knowledge; not doing so amounts to plagiarism. Luckily, students can use citation generators (http://www.citethisforme.com/us/citation-generator/mla) that make proper documentation much easier. Your instructor may tell you which style to use or let you choose. APA Style As the official style of the American Psychological Association, APA is widely used in the social sciences. Last, F. M.

It also requires a "Works Cited" page at the end of a paper. Example Alonso, Alvaro, and Julio A.

   Episode 001 - Digital Scholarship

   With the internet, information sharing has now become much faster, cheaper and easier, participants in provision of services in the academic area have found it necessary to link up and connect to each other across the world through modern technology and communications systems. We decided it is time we collectively move the power of the Internet for learning from a mere promise to practice. Even though there’s seemingly nothing can replace traditional classroom teaching, but e-learning complements the process and can help reach out to the masses. Subject to the above observations we thus found it of utmost importance to initiate this program to inform, enlighten, educate and sensitize all participants within the Academic community and research bodies, how to utilize these resources and conduct a genuine research online, like asking questions, how to use the available technology to design a study, conducting the study, analyzing the data collected and reporting results and conclusions all by using the internet to achieve.
