What is a Research University?


This great video provides pertinent and helpful info on research universities and the work they do. 

Research university, definition of.

Establishment where a seat of higher learning is housed, including administrative and living quarters as well as facilities for research and teaching.

DIY U is primarily an online research university. Therefore, the establishment would be the internet. I conduct my research from home,  so my home would be my research facility. My teaching facility is my home and the internet is also my teaching facility.

Research universities are the engines of discovery, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge across every field. They not only create groundbreaking advancements in medicine, technology, and social sciences, but also train the next generation of researchers and innovators. While formal university settings offer a structured approach, DIY U complements this by fostering a love of exploration and independent learning. Here, you can explore research topics at your own pace, feeding directly into the spirit of curiosity that fuels all major research universities.

Here is an update for one of my creations, WCK 7 : Wearable chain keyring 7. http://www.schooloftheremoteinfluencer1.com/2023/02/wck-7-wearable-chain-keyring-7-updated.html This is an example of the DIY maker movement in action. WCK 7 is made up of industrial goods connected to each other. There are 10 pieces that make up this unique and useful product. In the video below, you can also see the neodymium magnet that's connected to a hexagonal nut. The keyring can be placed onto this end piece as you can see in the photo below. 

My independent study in Math/s

  When I was growing up, I had a phobia of sorts for maths. In the UK, we call it maths. My maths skills started to improve when I had started junior college. I have decided to start my own independent study of maths. I have ongoing health issues. However, I will do what I am capable of doing. As self directed learning plays a huge part in DIY-U, I will find the necessary resources and I will teach myself. I will evaluate my learning. I am not interested in gaining a certificate or certificates for my maths studies. There are many self taught mathematicians in history. I am not saying I want to become a mathematician. However, I do want to improve my skills in this subject. I will conduct my studies at my own pace and I will most likely continue with the practice until I decide to end the self initiated learning project of my own creation. Here is one of the solutions I have created as a result of my explorations in math/s. http://www.projecttheremoteinfluencer.org/2020/02/succes...

Aero skittles is the name of the new sport I have invented

I have invented a new and creative sport. Aero skittles is the name of this new sport. Google gemini has helped with the name choice for this sport. I am impressed with Google gemini. The original name I was going to use was, disc skittles. I'd entered this data into Google gemini's website This is how they then came up with quite a few choices. I went with their Aero skittles name as it fits in with what the sport is all about.
