  1. EDDI train the trainers workshop

    1. EDDI 2024 Train the Trainers Abstract

    4. Jennifer to collect materials from last year’s workshop

      1. Abstract and organizational notes on EDDI 23 in-person workshop: 2023

  1. Request 1: Jordan Gross-Richmond, AMS Analytics

    1. Arofan contacted

    2. “We are a small firm serving the non-profit sector.  I am interested in identifying cataloging / defining standards for the loads of information we've already collected as well as setting the standard for what  we will collect.”

  2. Request 2: Melissa Lee, WestEd

    1. hoping for a 1-2 hour session, sometime in September or October 2024. Requested September 18 (Wednesday) at 12pm PST / 3pm EST

    2. DDIC and DDIL introduction

    3. “We are a group of researchers working with quantitative data and are interested in learning how to align our codebooks/data to DDI standards for repositories such as ICPSR. We've spent some time digging into the resources on the DDI website but are still feeling like we don't have a grasp of how to do this. Thus, the training I'm seeking would be a "how to" session for DDI Lifecycle or Codebook

To make the most of the speaker's time I'd also like to open this training up to all researchers at WestEd (not only members of the community of practice) as there may be some researchers not part of our group but would be interested in this so the speaker may also want to do a short intro to the "Why" and "Why" for DDI.
