The voices in the title of this book can redress the gaps in archival institutional memory. These archives can include the stories of the voiceless, such as animals, to provide a more comprehensive record of activist groups’ impact on society.

This book is designed in two parts.

Part 1 describes the theoretical grounding for the ideas in this book, stemming from archival concepts and theories and theorists whilst combining sources at the intersection of activism and academia.

Part 2 applies continuum modelling to a new kind of archival appraisal specific to activist communities. With interactive exercises to challenge students and activists to help break down the complexity and logic of refined versions of the Records Continuum Model. Templates are included for use and re-use by activists, archivists and community groups to develop and adapt for their own context.

These modules are for Masters by coursework students enrolled in a range of disciplines that may require a research component . They are designed to build capability in research information skills and in research writing.

While written with RMIT University Masters by Coursework students in mind, other postgraduate students world-wide may find it useful – feel free to adopt or adapt to suit your own context.

This open book covers searching the literature to find the most relevant and current information; reviewing the literature (including a step by step guide on conducting a systematic review). We cover how to use a literature reference manager (i.e. Endnote, Mendeley or Zotero) to organise your reading. The latter modules provide guidance on developing a research proposal and writing with authority on your chosen topic.

In "First Nations' Health, Mental Health, Social, and Emotional Wellbeing," readers are invited to explore contemporary issues surrounding the health, mental health, and social and emotional wellbeing of First Nations peoples. A compilation of the latest in research, scholarship and clinical practices by a wide range of authors (First Nation and Allies) has been curated to support clinicians and students across the health professions to strengthen their knowledge and promote culturally responsive practice.

Learning Lab Contextualised Content (LLCC) is a multidisciplinary suite of digital open educational resources.  It supports learners and educators by providing foundation resources in an interactive, flexible, and shareable format.

Developed by educators and digital learning designers, the aim of this content is to provide realistic examples of the implementation of skills and knowledge required by students at a tertiary level. Included in the LLCC are materials on a range of subjects from maths, physics, and writing, to critical thinking, collaboration, and time management. The resources encourage learners to think about how they will apply these skills in their future careers and focus on four industry areas: engineering, economics and marketing, healthcare, and social services.  

All objects sit within a larger story, that of the Salty Creek Community Festival, and can be explored holistically by the learner. However, each learning object is also modular, meaning it can be used as an independent lesson or activity.
