2022 ESIP January Meeting

In 2012, ESIP’s Data Stewardship Committee produced a set of 34 related educational modules called the Data Management Short Course for Scientists (Short Course) targeted to research scientists on RDM and data stewardship related topics. These succinct educational modules were some of the first to be created in this topic area, and also the first put together to form a cohesive whole of modules under four key categories: The Case for Data Stewardship; Data Management Plans; Local Data Management; and Responsible Data Use. Data Science Education is a critical part of enabling Data for All People, both with respect to creation, use and understanding of data. As part of the innovation lifecycle, the Data Stewardship Committee has undertaken a process of reviewing these Short Course modules and this working session will discuss the outcomes of that review process, determine the status of the ESIP Short Course modules, and plan for future work that will maintain the currency, relevance and value of these resources. Future work may involve revising or deprecating the Short Course modules and filling gaps in topics either by the creation of new modules, or identifying other educational materials to recommend.

Recommended ways to prepare for this session: Visit the Short Courses in the ESIP Data Management Training Clearinghouse.
