[Pasig-discuss] NEW OPEN TOOLKIT FOR TEACHING FILE AND DATA MANAGEMENT

[Katherine Skinner]

The ETD+ Toolkit  <https://educopia.org/publications/etdplustoolkit>(
https://educopia.org/publications/etdplustoolkit) is an approach to
improving student and faculty research output management. Focusing on the
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) as a mile-marker in a student’s
research trajectory, it provides in-time advice to students and faculty
about avoiding common digital loss scenarios for the ETD and all of its
affiliated files.

The ETD+ Toolkit  <https://educopia.org/publications/etdplustoolkit>provides
free introductory training resources on crucial data curation and digital
longevity techniques. It has been designed as a training series to help
students and faculty identify and offset risks and threats to their digital
research footprints.


*About the Toolkit:*
The ETD+ Toolkit <https://educopia.org/publications/etdplustoolkit> is the
result of a project <https://educopia.org/research/grants/etdplus> (
https://educopia.org/research/grants/etdplus) generously funded by the
Institute of Library and Museum Services. Educopia Institute led the
creation of the Toolkit in partnership with the NDLTD, ProQuest, bepress,
and 12 U.S. research libraries.

*What it is:*
An open set of six modules and evaluation instruments that prepare students
to create, store, and maintain their research outputs on durable devices
and in durable formats. Each is designed to stand alone; they may also be
used as a series.

*What each module includes:*
Each module includes Learning Objectives, a one-page Handout, a Guidance
Brief, a Slideshow with full presenter notes, and an evaluation Survey.
Each module is released under a CC-BY license and all elements are openly
editable to make reuse as easy as possible.

*Who it is for:*
Anyone may freely adopt and adapt this toolkit. We especially recommend its
use by administrators, faculty, and librarians teaching students and by
students seeking practical advice about digital content management.

*Give us feedback (Please):*
Like the modules? Hate them? Think they’re unique? Redundant? These
materials have been produced under a grant-funded project, and we are
requesting feedback that we can share with our funder and that we can use
to improve the ETD+ Toolkit
<https://educopia.org/publications/etdplustoolkit>. Please help us to
refine the workshops and report back to our funder about how and where they
are being used! Contact katherine at educopia.org and sam at educopia.org.
