Quite a few members of the Leiden University Data Management Community engage in training on data management or related topics. With expert Helen Clare of Jisc now in Leiden, we have the unique opportunity to learn more about how to go about this. In this session, we spend some time thinking about what it takes to make effective and engaging training sessions. 

It’s tempting to jump in and start creating training material perhaps using one of the many learning tools and platforms out there. But spending time on design will save you time and produce better results. Remember, quality training needs good design.  This session gives an overview of pedagogic principles, followed by guidance on the different stages involved in creating and delivering training. There’ll be opportunities for questions, discussion and sharing experience.

About this session

The main session consists of an interactive presentation of ca 30 minutes, followed by time for questions and discussion. After one hour there is extra time for continuing the discussion with those who wish to stay a bit longer. The target audience are Leiden University staff who engage in training on data management or related topics like open science, but the session is open to anyone with an interest in the topic. If you are a member of the Leiden University Research Data Management Community, you will have received an invitation by email. If you are not a member, or did not receive the email, you can register through this form.

About the Connect & sessions

This event is part of the “Connect and …” series arranged by, and for, the Leiden University Research Data Management Community, on everything data management-related. The sessions take place every month at different days and times, so as to maximize access according to people’s different working hours, and are normally online. Topics and speakers are proposed by members of the Community. You can post a suggestion in the Community's MSTeams space, or write to datamanagement@library.leidenuniv.nl, if you have a topic you would like to discuss in a future meeting and the CDS team will help to make it happen.
