Workshop: Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) - Train the Trainers
- Kelly A Chatain (Unlicensed)
- Wendy Thomas
- Joachim Wackerow
- Jon Johnson
As a broad thought, each subject could follow the same pattern
- An introduction which talks about the purposes of what that part of DDI is trying to achieve, documentation, but also data management, questionnaire management etc. An explanation of the language used e.g. what do we really mean by representations, identifiable etc where we haven’t already covered it
- The main item types for that part of DDI, their purpose and examples, better to do less items well than more items thinly. Much of the content exists in previous slides from previous years but needs revisiting and slimming down
- One area that absorbed a lot of time and was hard for previous training was the packaging / schemes – this is an area we should probably think hard about how and to what depth we go.
- Break out for exercises that critique the training and generate a new / better example of how do I … or whole day sessions there should be two break outs, and for ½ day topics a single break out
- Bring everyone back and do a q & a
The final day could be presentations from participants in groups of 2 or 3 on improved versions of materials
In terms of allocation below is a basic punt on timing and topic areas
Day | Item types approach |
Monday | Plenary as described above |
Monday | Foundational / Agent |
Tuesday | Data Description |
Wednesday | Data Capture |
Thursday | Classification / Study |
Thursday | DDi Versions, CV’s, Bindings |
Friday | Preparation of materials for DDI & local use |
The general organization of the workshop day will be a combination of presentation/discussion and small group work. Presentations will focus on topical areas providing information on resource materials, clarifying a DDI perspective, and setting out specific goals for the 3-4 breakout groups. This presentation/working group pattern will be repeated once or twice daily depending on the topics.
Working groups will consist of approximately 5 attendees. Each group will have a targeted goal in terms of content coverage and/or presentation type (slide decks, examples, video, other). The membership of the groups will be vary as needed to reflect individual interests and expertise. Each working group is intended to meet only once rather than for consecutive periods.
At the end of each day the full group will come together to present their work.
