RDMRose

RDMRose is a JISC funded project to produce taught and continuing professional development (CPD) learning materials in Research Data Management (RDM) tailored for Information professionals. The module is split into 8 sessions, each equivalent to a half day of study. Each session usually has 4 parts, each planned to constitute about an hour’s learning. Notes provide an overview of the session. Slides provide the basic content and structure and include pointers to resources and reading. There is a strong emphasis on practical hands-on activities often engaging with real documents such as institutional RDM policies or data management plans. An element of inquiry based learning is offered through a scaffolded exercise to plan an interview of a researcher. An element of problem based learning is offered through a number of case studies based on documents and recordings relating to specific real projects (Session 7); and a fictional institutional case study (Session 8).
