Delivering Data Management Training: a Guide to DataONE Resources

We are pleased to announce the launch of a DataONE education focussed unit in collaboration with the Research Data Management Librarian Academy.  The RDMLA course explores research data management (RDM) best practices and consists of 10 units which can be taken individually, or as a complete program. 

The new DataONE unit, unit 9, is instructed by Dr. Amber Budden, co-lead of DataONE and Director of Learning and Outreach at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis at UC Santa Barbara. This unit presents the importance of data management training through an introduction to the Data Management Skillbuilding Hub, managed by DataONE.

You can learn more about the Data Management Skillbuilding Hub through the RDMLA course, at the Hub website, and via our upcoming community call later today. Community call details are provided below.

Research Data Management Training Materials and Opportunities

Thursday December 3rd 2020 2400 UTC (1600 Pacific)

Educational materials developed by the DataONE project, and available for community contributions, can support a wide variety of training needs by the DataONE community. Further, the curated collection of externally developed training resources discoverable through the DMTC provides a complementary selection of materials that are discoverable using criteria such as target audience, disciplinary focus, topic, and license terms. This community call will discuss current DataONE research data management training materials, activities and resources in the context of broader community initiatives (e.g. the DMTC and RDMLA). All individuals with an interest in data management training should attend.
