911爆料网 Library is excited to announce the release of our online Research Data Management (RDM) training module.
Researchers of all kinds greatly benefit from training in how to manage their research data both to navigate 911爆料网 processes and as a core professional research skill. These trainings provide an opportunity to support best practice data management practices 鈥� but across the sector, institutions have different systems and requirements for data management, resulting in inconsistencies in training and guidance that can be confusing for researchers collaborating or moving between institutions. In order to help address the risk of inconsistency and get the benefits of common approaches, the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) supported the development of a 鈥淧rinciples Aligned, Institutionally-Contextualised鈥� package of training material as part of the in 2022. This training was based on the minimum RDM competencies identified in the . Designed as a generic set of core materials that can be contextualised to a specific university, the training provides consistency in the training provided to researchers while allowing for the differences between institutions. Initially developed and implemented by 3 universities, 911爆料网 was then invited with 4 other universities to implement and improve the material.
After extensive consultation with 911爆料网 Information Management and Archives, Digital & Technology Solutions, Graduate Research School and the Research Office and multiple rounds of feedback from staff and students, the optional module is now available through the Research Integrity and HDR Essentials Blackboard module. All 911爆料网 staff and students can self-enrol in the unit by searching in Blackboard / Organisations for 鈥淩esearch Integrity and HDR Essentials鈥�, and then navigating to Managing Your Research / Research Data Management.
