Developing and Sustaining a Disciplinary Data Management Course

 

Presented by:

  • Sarah J. Wright, Cornell University
 

Description:

Graduate students working with research data need data management skills. This poster will discuss the development of a one-credit disciplinary course to teach these skills, which are often learned by trial and error or passed on by peers. Top educational priorities identified and the teaching approaches, materials, and assessment strategies used will be shared. By sharing our experiences, both successes and failures, we hope to grow the community around this type of instruction.

In 2011, our three-librarian instruction team undertook a comprehensive review and redesign of our online tutorial, with the goals of improving its curricular foundation, its technological underpinnings, and its sustainability, culminating in the “Teach Yourself” suite of instructional modules. This virtual poster presents our impetus for creating a new tutorial platform, the functional requirements we identified, and the features of our new framework. We also touch on evaluation and plans for future improvement.
