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.

My Facebook page for DIY-U

I have recently opened a Facebook page and a Facebook group for DIY-U. I believe in the power of social media as a learning platform. I will write more about this topic in future posts. I hope Google re-start their social media vehicle. Let's see what transpires. Here are the links to my Facebook page and my Facebook group for DIY-U. https://www.facebook.com/diyuniversity https://www.facebook.com/groups/336377653643535/ The Facebook group for DIY-U is a closed membership group. Just send me a request to join and I will then add you as a group member. I am impressed with some of the features these groups give to page admins. They allow page managers to place documents into the page and they have other useful features too.

Research connections with regulations

Here is a link to a PDF file I had written up on the connections I had made with research and regulations. I had analyzed secondary data in order to come up with some unique ideas relating to regulations etc. You are welcome to share and to download the PDF. I hope that the PDF file triggers new ideas for you. If you read about inventions, you will see that new inventions are basically improvements and / or modifications on existing ideas. Or they can be combinations of ideas. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JqQiz7LGsHGNDJ3NNDRwbFp8EoE3PiBl/view?usp=sharing
