The non-credit, free online course is said to have interactive units focused on key concepts of data management, including video clips of senior academics talking about data management challenges. There are also practical
exercises in handling data in four software packages widely used by researchers in different fi elds, which learners can download and work through at their own pace.
The Data Library team at EDINA, a JISC-funded UK national academic data centre based at the University of Edinburgh, produced the materials over the course of the past year as part of the JISC Managing Research Data programme.
