Skills4EOSC FAIR-by-Design Methodology in Training Development

, -

 

General Information

Date: 20 September 2024
Time: 14:00 - 18:00 (CEST / UTC+2)
Location: online


Registration 

The registration for this event is coordinated by CLARIN-IT. Please note that it consists of two online sessions, each of them with its own registration link. Interested participants are referred to the programme details below and invited to register for the session they are interested in.


Description and Aims

When developing learning materials, it is essential to ensure they are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) from both the learners' and trainers' perspectives. Therefore, integrating FAIR principles into developing learning materials is a crucial element. This training introduces the FAIR-by-Design Methodology, which provides a systematic approach that embeds the FAIR principles into the backward instructional design process.

 

During the two train-the-trainers sessions, the participants will:

  • Gain an in-depth understanding of the FAIR-by-Design workflow, where each stage highlights different aspects of the design process for learning materials.
  • Learn practical techniques for implementing the methodology to produce high-quality FAIR learning materials.
  • Engage in discussions to explore how these principles can be applied in specific real-world scenarios.

These events are organised by CLARIN , CLARIN-IT and H2IOSC in conjunction with the Skills4EOSC project.


Target Audience

  • Members of the CLARIN network interested or involved in training materials design and development, e.g. instuctional designers, training workflows and infrastructure managers
  • CLARIN-IT members involved in training activities in the H2IOSC project
  • Anyone interested in the topic is welcome to join the session and learn.

Programme

Session 1 - 20 September 2024, 14:00-18:00 CEST

This session focuses on the FAIR-by-Design approach to developing training materials, covering each stage from preparation and design to production. Geared primarily toward instructional designers, the session provides a comprehensive overview of the entire process, enriched with interactive activities and discussions. Participants will gain practical insights and hands-on experience to create training resources that align with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).

Topics:

  • Greetings and Introduction to CLARIN and Skills4EOSC
  • Overview of FAIR-by-Design Methodology
  • Metadata Schema and Controlled Vocabularies
  • Overview of the Facilitator Kit
  • How to add Multimedia for a Rich Learning Experience
  • Citing and Attribution

 

Session 2 - 26 September 2024, 14:00-17:00 CEST

The second session focuses on the FAIR-by-Design stages of publishing, verification, and continuous improvement, targeting training workflow and infrastructure managers. Building on the foundational concepts introduced earlier, this second day delves deeper into the long-term management, curation, and publication of FAIR educational resources. Participants will explore strategies for ensuring the sustainable development and maintenance of resources, while addressing challenges related to their dissemination and ongoing quality assurance.

Topics:

  • Summary of the Session 1
  • Version Control: How to Manage Different Kinds of Changes
  • Recognition Framework: Open Badges and European Digital Credentials
  • Publishing Considerations: Files, Automation and FAIRsignposting
  • Co-Creation and Feedback
  • Quality Assessment
  • Hands-on exercise
