ARDC Digital Research Capabilities and Skills Framework: The Framework and Its Components https://staging.dresa.org.au/materials/ardc-digital-research-capabilities-and-skills-framework-the-framework-and-its-components The ARDC's Digital Research Capabilities and Skills Framework, released in 2022, provides a structure for training programs to develop essential and advanced digital research skills. It aims to help researchers and professionals identify the necessary skills they need to leverage emerging opportunities in data management, data analysis, data linking, AI, and machine learning. The framework aligns with technological advancements and encourages ongoing discussion and contributions to evolve the coverage of digital research skills. The framework focuses on digital research skills, excluding broader professional skills, and is intended for a wide range of stakeholders. It provides a structured approach for project teams and organisations to develop and enhance their digital research skills through six main components: a skills taxonomy, a skills glossary, a list of generalised roles, roles and skills-related profiles, learning paths, and a skills and roles matrix. The skills taxonomy classifies digital research skills into four capability families: Governance, Data, Software, and Digital Research Infrastructure Management. It provides a standard terminology for identifying and describing these skills. to be advised Russell, Keith (type: Editor) Wong, Adeline (type: Editor) Lyrtzis, Ellen (type: Editor) training material, skills framework, ARDC skills framework, ARDC capabilities framework, national skills framework, learning path, role profile, capabilities, FAIR implementation, skills, data management, research software, data governance, digital research infrastructure

Ten Simple Rules for Researchers: Upskilling for a Rapidly Evolving Workforce https://staging.dresa.org.au/materials/ten-simple-rules-for-researchers-upskilling-for-a-rapidly-evolving-workforce The following recommendations were inspired by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) Digital Research Skills Summit 2023, that brought together Researchers, Learning Designers, Skills Trainers, and Librarians in productive discussions on how to run effective researcher skills training. These rules outline how to think about skills learning for researchers, plan training sessions, and efficiently maximize learning. We offer recommendations on how to design and develop learner-centered training programs (Rules 1 and 2), foster outreach, and connect with trainer communities (Rules 3 and 4). We then provide tips to manage and optimize training (Rules 5, 6, and 7), and conclude with valuable insights on preparing for uncertainty and the importance of post-training operations and continued learning (Rules 8, 9, and 10). to be advised Training, Training Material, Short Format Training, Digital Skills, Researcher Training, Learning

Data Fluency: a community of practice supporting a digitally skilled workforce https://staging.dresa.org.au/materials/data-fluency-a-community-of-practice-supporting-a-digitally-skilled-workforce-5910b4fe-00a6-44f2-a94f-b8d2b17dec62 This presentation showcases the impact of the Monash Data Fluency Community of Practice upon digitally skilled Graduate Research students involved as learners and instructors in the program. The strong focus on building community to complement training, has fostered an environment of learning, networking and sharing of expertise. Hear what the Graduate research students have to say about the value of skills training and how it has impacted their research; how the community has enabled them to network with a broad range of researchers and affiliate partner groups they would not ordinarily be in contact with; how their research journey has been enhanced by working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, as well as sharpening their teaching skills. The rapid refocus from face - face to online delivery, as a result of the pandemic, highlights the importance of the multi-faceted online approach including workshops, drop-in sessions, SLACK chat and online learning resources. As a result of the shift to online, the range of strategic external partner/affiliate groups has extended and demand for workshops and drop-ins has increased.  Learn how the instructors have altered their pedagogical approach to engage workshop and drop-in participants; how they have overcome some of the challenges of facilitating in an online environment; and how this is preparing them to become part of a digitally skilled workforce. to be advised skills, training, eresearch skills, data skills, online learning, pedagogy, train the trainer, digitally skilled workforce, training material

An important aspect is to provide training materials that proactively engages with the research community to improve their understanding of the data available, and to share knowledge and best practices in the use of tools and other software. We have developed multiple levels of training modules (introductory, intermediate and advanced) to cater for users with different levels of experience and interest. We have also tailored courses for each scientific domain, so that the use-cases and software will be most relevant to their interests and needs. For our training, we combine brief lectures followed by hands-on training examples on how to use datasets, using working examples of well-known tools and software that people can use as a template and modify to fit their needs. For example, we take representative use-cases from some scientific activities, from our collaborations and from user support issues, and convert to Jupyter notebook examples so that people can repeat the workfIow and reproduce the results. We also use the training as an opportunity to raise awareness of growing issues in resource management. Some examples include a familiarity of the FAIR data principles, licensing, citation, data management and trusted digital repositories. This approach to both our online training materials and workshops has been well-received by PhD students, early careers, and cross disciplinary users. to be advised skills, training, eresearch skills, HPC training, domain-specific training, reproducible workflows, training material

Astronomy Data And Computing Services - Upskilling the Australian astronomy community https://staging.dresa.org.au/materials/astronomy-data-and-computing-services-upskilling-the-australian-astronomy-community-aa4f8d82-6727-4b38-91a8-e124077c44ad The Astronomy Data And Computing Services (ADACS) initiative has been working with the Australian astronomy community for just over 3 years now. Our vision is to deliver astronomy-focused training, support and expertise to maximise the scientific return on investments in astronomical data & computing infrastructure. During these last 3 years, we have delivered dozens of face-to-face, hands-on workshops and created several hours worth of online tutorial materials. This talk will focus on our journey to deliver this computational skills training to the community, exploring how we chose different delivery pathways and content, based both on community input as well as our professional expertise and understanding of existing skill gaps. Most importantly we will discuss our plans for the future and how we are working on actively including the community in developing new training material beyond the usual skills survey. Come along to this talk if you would like to hear about a national effort to deliver computational skills training and would like to know more about potential new avenues to provide just-in-time training and how to collaborate with ADACS.  to be advised astronomy, data skills, eresearch skills, skills, computational skills, training, skills gaps, astronomy-focused training, training material
