Your students deserve to know about Research Data Management! I n this brand-new "\;train the trainer"\; session for educators\, R DM Services will prepare you to prepare your graduate and undergraduate st udents for increasing grant and publisher requirements for Data Management Plans and Data Deposit.
"\;Do my students even have data to man age?"\; you might ask. Au contraire mon capitaine\, they do! If resear ch involves biological samples or survey results\, you may feel confident you’re working with research data. But what if your research is rooted i n creative practice? What if you’re looking for the specific heat of a m aterial under a magnetic field? Data have many formats: text\, numbers\, i mages\, recordings\, software\, algorithms\, workflows. Research Data Mana gement is caring for data through the research lifecycle: planning to arch iving.
We'\;ll discuss integrating our new RDM Educators Kit in t he classroom\, from 2-minute slide inserts to RDM class visits to multi-cl ass Data Management Plan creation as an "\;open hand of cards."\; We'\;ll end with a working session to imagine challenges and possibilit ies!
Participants will learn to:
Summarize RDM best pract ices and what Data Management Plans and Data Deposit look like in your fie ld
Locate available tools from RDM Services
Prepare to imp lement Research Data Management tools in the classroom.
This s ession is great for educators from faculty to sessional instructors to gra duate students ready to bring RDM into their classrooms!
Det ails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre' \;s Online Learning Catalogue.
