SUMMARY:Reproducible Research Practices and Tools
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 10 2025 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Description: Have you ever tried to run someone else’s code and it just didn’t work? Have you ever been lost interpreting your colleague’s data? This hands-on session will provide researchers with tools and techniques to make their research process more transparent and reusable in remote computing environments. We’ll be using platforms like JupyterHub and scripting languages like Bash to demonstrate the material. In this workshop\, you’ll learn about: \n\n\n\n\nOrganizing your file directories\n\n\n\nWriting readable metadata with README files\n\n\n\nAutomating your workflow with scripts\n\n\n\nCapture and share your computational environmentUsing large language models (GenAI) to assist with the above\n\n\n\n\nTeachers: Sarah Huber (University of Victoria)\, Shahira Khair (University of Victoria)\, and Drew Leske (University of Victoria) \n\n\n\nLevel: Introductory \n\n\n\nFormat: Lecture + Hands-on \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: Familiarity with command-line tools in a Unix environment is not a requirement for the workshop but may be helpful for some of the hands-on activities.

SUMMARY:Creating OER with Students
DESCRIPTION:Led by Apurva Ashok (Rebus Foundation) \n\n\n\nJoin us for a hands-on workshop where we will explore practical\, fun\, and effective strategies for co-creating Open Educational Resources (OER) with students. We’ll discover how open educational practices and renewable assignments can transform classroom dynamics by engaging students as active knowledge creators rather than passive participants. Together\, we’ll examine approaches to embedding accessibility and cultural relevance into your OER design process while also building digital competency skills for both educators and students. Through guided reflections and practical exercises\, you’ll develop the skills necessary to create more inclusive and representative learning materials alongside your students. Participants who complete the workshop activities will receive an online certificate and a digital badge recognizing their commitment to open education. \n\n\n\nPart of “Open Horizons: Affordability and Access through Open Education” \n\n\n\nManitoba Open Education Symposium\, June 11–12\, 2025

SUMMARY:Implementing Institutional RDM Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 12 2025 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription: With the release of the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy all Canadian post-secondary institutions and research hospitals that administer Tri-Agency funding were required to develop and post institutional research data management (RDM) strategies by March 1\, 2023. As institutions finalized their strategies\, they began to consider what implementation would look like. To support inter-institutional\, cross-functional dialogue around implementation\, a two-day\, SSHRC-supported workshop was hosted at the University of Waterloo in September 2023. Over 30 institutions of varying sizes and research intensities sent cohorts representing libraries\, information technology\, and research offices to participate in dialogues around challenges and collaborative solutions in RDM strategy implementation. The high-level recommendations from that workshop have been released as the report Building an Inter-Institutional and Cross-Functional Research Data Management Community: From Strategy to Implementation. In this short workshop\, participants will discuss the recommendations in the report and how they can be implemented in their institutions. \n\n\n\nTeachers: Jennifer Abel (University of Calgary) and Ian Milligan (University of Waterloo) \n\n\n\nLevel: Intermediate \n\n\n\nFormat: Workshop \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: \n\n\n\nParticipants should also read the executive summary of the report before the workshop. \n\n\n\nParticipants should be involved in RDM-supporting work in their institution; e.g.\, in the library\, research office\, IT/research computing\, ethics\, etc.

SUMMARY:Metadata in the DRI Ecosystem: A Pragmatic Introduction
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 19 2025 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription: Metadata is as metadata does. As researchers and institutions embrace digital research infrastructures (DRIs) and digital tools for conducting research\, researchers need a better and deeper practical understanding of metadata in these new digital contexts.  \n\n\n\nUsually defined as essentially being data about data\, metadata provides additional information or context about an item (a digital object\, a piece of data..). Most people have an intuitive understanding of the ways metadata can make it easier to understand\, manage\, and organize digital items\, based on their experiences interacting with metadata in practice–from managing personal files in their own computers or on the cloud\, to using library catalogues or scientific databases. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will aim to demystify DRI metadata by experiencing it “in action” across three data services: Borealis\, Scholars GeoPortal\, and Odesi. The goal is to connect the (sometimes arcane) metadata best practices and recommendations with some actual\, practical (and often surprising!) implications of your metadata decisions. \n\n\n\nTeacher: Alicia Urquidi Diaz (OCUL\, Scholars Portal\, University of Toronto) \n\n\n\nLevel: Introductory \n\n\n\nFormat: Workshop \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None

SUMMARY:Plugins in QGIS
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 26 2025 \n\n\n\nThis intermediate-level workshop is meant to extend basic knowledge of QGIS by exploring common plugins. Familiarity of the QGIS is therefore a prerequisite. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to use plugins to \n\n\n\n\nAccess dynamic basemaps hosted on web servers\n\n\n\nQuery and download Open Street Map (OSM) data\n\n\n\nGeocode address data from a spreadsheet\, and\n\n\n\nCreate an interactive webmap from a QGIS project\n\n\n\n\nFamiliarity with GIS is prerequisite for this workshop. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is taught by a graduate student in Geography with expertise in GIS and cartographic methods. \n\n\n\nThings to do before arriving:\n\n\n\nQGIS is a free and open source desktop geographic information system (GIS). It can be installed on Windows\, MacOS\, and Linux using the download instructions here: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html. \n\n\n\nBefore attending\, please download the most recent QGIS Long Term Release and review the Research Commons’ Introduction to QGIS. \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Lily Crandall-Oral

SUMMARY:Critical Editing and Interpretation in TEI
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 27th 2025 \n\n\n\nLocation: UBC Digital Scholarship Lab\, Koerner Library\, 4th floor \n\n\n\nRecommended Reading \n\n\n\nBeshero-Bondar\, Elisa\, Lee Skallerup Bessette\, Quinn Dombrowski\, and Roopika Risam. “DSC #5: The DSC and the Impossible TEI Quandaries.” The Data-Sitters Club. June 25\, 2020. https://doi.org/10.25740/wq850xt2646. \n\n\n\nThis session will offer an introduction to critical digital editing in TEI. In particular\, this session will provide a hands-on introduction to how the TEI facilitates editorial markup for manuscript and print texts. Topics will include encoding manuscript features–such as additions\, deletions\, and other revisions in one or more hands–and editorial interventions\, such as editorial notes\, gaps\, and supplied text; marking up interpretations and mechanisms for encoding analysis; and handling of figures\, tables\, and images. \n\n\n\nWe recommend installing Oxygen XML Editor. If you do not have a current subscription\, 30-day trial licenses are available here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/register.html. A limited number of computers in the UBC Digital Scholarship Lab have licensed Oxygen XML installed if you prefer to work on those machines (note: you will need to save your work to cloud storage or a portable device as the computers are wiped each night).
