Meeting notes
Ongoing training activities:
COAR (Confederation of Open Access Repositories) Training materials planning:
...
- Which training materials do we need?
- How do we make them available, e.g. recorded tutorials?
Actions: Set up the DSpace training group (about five people, version agnostic). Interested: Iryna (chair), Kimberly, Pauline, Mariya. Marianne will provide feedback and comments. Iryna will draft the announcement, etc.
Suggestions: a user handbook, help guides for basic management, demos, walk-throughs for repository managers by repository managers
Channels: wiki, YouTube, github.
Issues: The current demo page shows the latest version of the software. Perhaps we need it for the seven supported versions? Suggestion: argue for the current and the last.
Draft a survey about training materials available already (Iryna). Check the minutes of DCAT Meeting February 2018.
Topics: repository management; check Stuart's original list and materials (Old DSpace course), keep the structure, update the materials
Have the basic and advanced sets
Check Bram's Search Engine Recommendations.
Licenses: aim for CC-BY, discuss other options if some content creators are not comfortable with this (e. g. prefer CC BY-NC).
Types of the materials: the wiki for the written documentation + enhancements - videos, slides.
Next month topic: Terry about accessibility needs and requirements to provide guidance to DSpace 7 team. Terry and Kimberly have some examples to share
