The second week of the Delivering Research Data Management MOOC focused on the tools and methods that our learners can use to self-evaluate their RDM service offerings and provide a framework to develop their services further. Moderation was provided by René, who led moderation for the introductory modules, and myself, Ryan from the DCC. As ever, engagement from participants was key to the week’s learning, with some great insights into the challenges and successes people have encountered in their work.

In week 3 of the Delivering RDM services MOOC we looked at Data Management Plans (DMPs) and RDM guidance websites. We asked participants to review content from DMPs to assess what makes a good plan and to look at existing websites to see what models could be copied. 

Week 4 of our DRDMS MOOC saw us tackling issues around long-term preservation of data, which essentially boils down to repositories

The Digital Curation Centre is recruiting for several positions.

The fifth week of the course focused on the development of roadmaps for delivering Research Data Management (RDM) services. This ties in with the content of Week 2, during which participants reflected on the gaps in their institution’s RDM offering. Moderation was provided by me (https://www.tudelft.nl/en/library/research-data-management/r/support/data-stewardship/contact/eirini-zormpa) and Alex Delipalta (https://www.dcc.ac.uk/about/staff/alexandra-delipalta).
