    Providing access

    We've noticed that the video above isn't available in all countries. If you are unable to view it, try this link instead (from 2 mins 30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biTiK0zFJsQ

    @JenniferBeggs The FutureLearn platform doesn't make location visible to others by default in the comments, but you can see it in users' profiles (if they have added it). You're welcome to share your location in the chat if you want to (general area not address obviously!).

    We've been made aware that the video linked to in the poll feedback is no longer publicly available. We are in the process of updating the feedback to correct this. EDIT: this has now been corrected.

    Live panel discussion

    @RosemaryBenard yes you might be right about Teams and your work account. The chat isn't recorded with the video but the team will go through it and pick out any links, etc and Pam is going to share some recommended reading shortly. But do get in touch if you have any other questions about it.

    Hi Rosemary, sorry you had problems with the chat during the session. I could see your messages and replied, but I don't think you could see mine! I hope you managed to participate successfully with audio/video instead.

    Margaret Thatcher

    Unfortunately the second video we linked to has been removed from YouTube so we have taken it out of this step. The first video does show the differences in Thatcher's vocal styles so you will still be able to complete the activity.

    Hi Muhammad, we have noticed you have copied some comments from other learners - if you agree with what other learners are saying, it is possible to 'like' their comment rather than copying and pasting them.

    Do you have an accent?

    Sorry you're having problems recording on the Padlet board. I've checked the settings and it should be working. If you double click on any of the existing recordings it will just play them back, but if you scroll down a bit and double click on a blank bit of the board, it will then add a new comment box for you to record to at the top.

    Other reasons for doing PhD research

    @BC @EmilyDrummond @AmyJaneBarnes sorry for the confusion - it should have said 'data generated through, for example, field study or interviews' (hence 'artificial' - i.e. made from study). I have amended it now.
