About this course

This 2 days course is based on the FAIR training handbook and 10 simple rules to make material FAIR publication. All sessions are structured in a way that complement each other aiming to introduce participants with a theoretical & hands-on approach of how to design FAIR training material.

Activities are intended to increase the technical skills and critical thinking during the development of a new training course. From A to Z participants are going to be challenged to work in a group to build a FAIR lesson on a topic to be presented at the end of the course. Come inspired!

Per session

Session 1: What is FAIR and why do I care? - Explain the 4 principles in the acronim FAIR - Differentiate FAIR and OPEN science and application in training material - Discuss the advantages of FAIR and OPEN training

Session 2: Planning and Designing a FAIR training - Describe pedagogical frameworks and methods that support Learning Outcome development (including Blooms Taxonomy and the Smartie Principles) - Create Learning Outcomes relevant to their own training - Understand how Nicholls Five Steps and the Training Life Cycle relate to FAIR - Describe how documentation pedagogically supports FAIR trainings - Describe methods for and means of documenting trainings documenting in a FAIR way

Session 3: How to host your training - List common e-learning platforms - Explain what the SCORM format is - Describe pros and cons of different Learning Management Systems, from a FAIR perspective - Create a github page to host and deliver training - Describe how to make your training material FAIR using only google drive

Session 4: Training material formats and interoperability - assess the degree of re-usability of training material - explain the concepts of re-usability, interoperability and extendibility for training material - develop presentation with narratives for each slides using Liascript

Session 5: Acknowledgements, a comprehensive perspective - Explain the importance of having a license and getting informed about other's license - Choosing a license for the material while understanding the duties and rights of each choice - Choosing illustrations based on their license - List and discuss the steps and challanges to create images with genAI - Defining Authorship and Contributors - Acknowledging othe training materials sources

Session 6: Put on your producer hat: considerations for FAIR video material - Describe the advantages and challenges of video media in FAIR training - Understand active and responsible AI usage in creating FAIR video materials - Find video materials to use in FAIR training - Annotate video material to make it FAIR - Apply FAIR video materials to your training delivery system

Session 7: Metadata and Findability - Define training metadata - Discuss the importance of training metadata - Register training metadata in TeSS manually
