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

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)

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

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 upto-date.
