Designing Your Research for Impact: Emerging Methods for Mobilization
- Designed by Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research Centre, Athabasca University
Designing Your Research for Impact: Emerging Methods of Mobilization is a FREE new micro-course designed specifically to help graduate-level scholars produce, share, apply, and exchange ideas and research for maximum benefit. The course was developed in response to a shifting academic landscape that’s increasingly open and digital—changes that have accelerated during the pandemic.
By improving knowledge mobilization, scholars can put research discoveries into the hands of those who can use it—including government and policy makers, industry, communities, non-governmental organizations, and other researchers across disciplines.

Rey Bango, Senior Director of Developer and Security Relations at Veracode, discusses secure coding with host Priyanka Raghavan. They discuss the need for secure coding, barriers to adoption, how training can help teams improve at adopting secure coding practices; key principles of secure coding such as verifying for security early and regularly, looking at security issues as bugs, validating inputs, and being very aware of third-party components being used in open source development and regularly updating them. They considered the importance of logging and how verbose logging can be a source of attack, and then also discussed the cryptographic flaws in programming languages. Finally, they discussed future research in the area of usability and performance of security tooling.
