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

DESCRIPTION:Date: September 25 2025 \n\n\n\nAre you curious about organizing your research better? Join us for our first roundtable of the season September 25 from 11 AM – 12 PM on Research and Lab Notebooks. \n\n\n\nNotebooks are important records of decision-making\, results\, and processes during research. Although many researchers still use paper notebooks\, electronic tools protect against data loss\, enhance searching\, and validate findings through permissions and signatures. While McMaster University does not offer dedicated software\, we’ll hear from researchers across disciplines about how they’re making it work with available tools. We’ll talk configuring workflows\, setting up version control\, which tools you avoid\, onboarding students and new researchers\, and other practical details. \n\n\n\nAround the table this month: \n\n\n\n\nDr. Sara Andres (Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences) introduces how she’s configured OneNote\n\n\n\nDr. Andrew McArthur (Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences) shares his GitLab setup\n\n\n\nAkacia Propst (The/La Collaborative – Philosophy) discusses a Research Documentation template\n\n\n\nDr. Andy Roddick (Anthropology) outlines using Obsidian to build connections in a mass of information\n\n\n\n\nHere is the meeting link. Learn more and join the RDM community!

SUMMARY:Introduction to Git and GitHub:    Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 1 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Kendra Oudyk \n\n\n\nLearn the basics of using Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration. Git is widely used version control software that tracks changes to a group of files\, referred to as a repository. GitHub is a popular website for hosting and sharing Git repositories\, making it easier to collaborate and share your work. Together\, Git and GitHub provide a platform that is increasingly used for collaboration in research and academic environments. In this beginner workshop participants will learn key concepts\, create their own Git repository\, and publish to GitHub. No previous experience with Git is required. Familiarity with the command line interface will be helpful but is not necessary. This is part 1 of a two-part introductory workshop. \n\n\n\nPre-workshop setup \n\n\n\nPlease complete the pre-workshop setup to install the Bash shell and Git.
