RDMRose RDMRose: Research Data Management for LIS Professionals Funded by JISC, for one year, July White Rose University libraries + Information School at the University of Sheffield RDM module as an OER for – CPD – LIS educators to reuse By repurposing existing content By creating new tailored content, including two substantial case studies Sep-2012 Learning material produced by RDMRose

Your contribution Help define the learning needs Use our learning materials and help judge their suitability in terms of – Content – Level – Form Contribute resources Contribute creative ideas about how to explain topics Sep-2012 Learning material produced by RDMRose

Learning philosophy Learning is hard; it is about change and engaging with uncertainty People learn in different ways It’s unusual to be learning intensively with work colleagues Your roles in RDM are likely to be different, but complementary Some are sceptical about the role of LIS in RDM There are many other work priorities Sep-2012 Learning material produced by RDMRose

The benefits to you Acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to RDM The knowledge and time to think about how you and your team prioritise research/RDM support roles Possibility to reuse some of the material yourself to teach students, researchers or other LIS or support staff Enhance your competencies and employability Potentially you can gain accreditation in RDM (optional) Sep-2012 Learning material produced by RDMRose

What will the module be like? Participative and collaborative Very practical and active Inquiry and problem based Realistic Strategic Theoretical “Open” – Open to your choice and needs – Reflect open-ended nature of RDM issue – Reference open resources – Remixed – Shared as OER Sep-2012 Learning material produced by RDMRose

Open Educational Resources (OER) “Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that you may freely use and reuse, without charge” (ISKME, 2012) Designs that “Are understandable and can be successfully used by others Support sound pedagogical practice Advance professional learning and sharing Contain accurate and relevant content knowledge Are developmentally and culturally appropriate.” (ISKME, 2012) Also: – Clear structures and standard terminology – Granular approach – Copyright safe Sep-2012 Learning material produced by RDMRose

What the module will NOT be like Tell you how to define RDM in your role Comprehensive Training to be a data scientist Sep-2012 Learning material produced by RDMRose

Learning outcomes The learning outcomes of the learning materials will be for learners to develop the ability to: – explain the diverse nature of research across academic disciplines and specialities and discuss different conceptions of research data, – analyse the context in which research data management has become an issue, – discuss the role of a range of professional services, including libraries, in RDM, – reflect for themselves as individuals and for information professionals in general on the role and priority of supporting research data management, – explain and apply the key concepts of research data management and data curation to real world case studies and professional practice, – and understand how to keep knowledge acquired on the module up- to-date.
