Maker literacies in K-12 and Higher Education - hybrid talk this week

This news post is more than one year old. Some information may have changed.

The UNB Faculty of Education Work In Progress Series and the Harriet Irving Library Research Commons present:

Maker literacies in K-12 and Higher Education

March 30th noon to 1pm, online and in the Data Visualization Lab of the Harriet Irving Library Research Commons

The integration of making and makerspace resources into curricula can strengthen the academic experience. Maker-centred learning supports this by exposing students to experiential, inquiry-driven learning while exploring a diverse assemblage of materials.  When permitted to construct ideas in a maker learning environment students tend to refine skills that may receive less emphasis in more traditional coursework like collaboration, design thinking, and iterative problem-solving.

In this session, Marc Bragdon (Head of the Research Commons, UNB Libraries) will discuss the integration of maker literacies in non-STEM disciplines in higher education, and Jacob Lingley (Director of Instructional Design with Brilliant Labs) will speak on the influence that a culture for making can have on resources developed by teacher candidates.

This long running series of research and professional shop talks touches down in the Harriet Irving Library this March 30th at noon and welcomes graduate students from across disciplines to learn more about goings on in the world of Education research.

Workshop Series: RDM For Busy People

This news post is more than one year old. Some information may have changed.

WORKSHOP SERIES: RDM FOR BUSY PEOPLE
Thursdays 11 am-12 pm
(March 17, 24, 31, Apr 7, 2022)
Innovation Hub (316)/Digital Scholarship Hub (320D)


Research Data Management (RDM) is a fast-changing and challenging area in the academic landscape requiring that the research data be maintained over the entire lifecycle of the research project with effective management practices. This workshop series aims to introduce RDM practices that researchers can adopt, regardless of their data management skills or level of expertise. The series presents a set of lectures and hands-on workshops focusing on best RDM practices in line with the new Tri-Agency RDM Policy announced in March 2021. The participants will expand their knowledge by learning about new RDM resources developed by the Canadian Research Data Alliance RDM Team, as well as the RDM Services available from the UNB Libraries.    

The lecture component will lay the foundation to understand the RDM landscape, focusing on Canadian resources and linking them to the notions of Open Scholarship and Open Science. The hands-on workshops will allow participants to learn RDM by doing it! Participants will utilize a DMP Assistant online tool to develop a data management plan and a Dataverse sandbox to learn how to share their data for publishing and further academic research.

This training is mainly aimed at graduate-level researchers; however, anyone interested in this topic is welcome!
