Used Pathways<\/h2><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
Social Media Research<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
Students were invited to participate in a hypothetical investigation about a polluted river. The first clues about the incident appeared on social media accounts of residents who had witnessed unusual odours at various locations in their neighbourhood.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
Surveys \/ Crowdsourcing<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
In the fictional scenario, the group shared a questionnaire with residents and asked them to keep a record of any smells they noticed, including where and when they occurred.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
Online Public Records \/ Databases<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
In the fictional scenario, the investigators searched the government\u2019s environmental protection agency database for recent warnings issued to polluters in that area.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
Interviewing \/ Developing Sources<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
In the fictional scenario, the investigators talked to an employee at the mayor\u2019s office to find out what they knew about the incident.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
Advanced Online Research<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
The group was asked to brainstorm other Investigative Pathways that could be used to continue the investigation. They suggested looking at the website, annual reports, and other business records to build a profile of a factory operating near the river.<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
News Reports \/ Academic Research<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
In the fictional scenario, investigators consulted academic papers to determine what the bad odours could be and if they posed a health or environmental risk.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
Maps & Geolocation<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
In the fictional scenario, the questionnaire with residents was used to plot the odour complaints on a map to help determine the origin of the smell.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
Developing Data<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
In the fictional scenario, the group analysed fines issued to polluters over several years, looking for any unusual patterns in the data.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
Audio-Video Witnessing \/ Field Research<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
The workshop participants were asked to brainstorm what other Investigative Pathways could be used to continue the investigation. It was suggested water samples could be taken from the stream and analysed at a lab for toxic substances.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>
Requesting Government Records<\/div><\/div><\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
The students were asked to brainstorm other Investigative Pathways that could be used to continue the investigation. It was suggested they could request records of any permits held by a factory near the river to handle hazardous chemicals.<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IMPACT<\/strong> after the investigation?<\/h2><\/div>

The long-term impact of this project is set to be measured in 2024, but immediate feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive. In one participant\u2019s words: \u201cGoing into the workshop, I was admittedly a bit nervous about my ability to grapple with complex concepts and theories, but as we dove deeper into case studies and started discussing our findings as a group, I realised that I had a lot more insight to offer than I gave myself credit for. It was empowering to feel like my contributions were valued and to see firsthand how far I’ve come in terms of being able to think critically about real-world problems.\u201d<\/p><\/div>
