11.1 Deliver the identified evaluation systems and good practice guidelines for training. Deliver a TeSS platform and identify e-learning solutions

This document (D11.1 - Deliver the identified evaluation systems and good practice guidelines for training. Deliver a TeSS platform and identify e-learning solutions) reports the efforts undertaken in the last 2 years by the ELIXIR Training Platform, subtask leaders, ELIXIR Training Coordinators and ELIXIR training colleagues to build the underlying structure of the ELIXIR Training Platform and bring it up to speed. It describes the achievements within the Task 11.1 of the WP11, Building the ELIXIR infrastructure. The deliverable in fact touches upon 3 subtasks (11.1.1, 11.1.2 and 11.1.3). “Deliver the identified evaluation systems and good practice guidelines for training” belongs to Subtask 11.1 of the WP11 Assessing training quality¨ good practice and impact . In order to ensure that ELIXIR Training needs are met (see training activities reported in the MTR report) and the training delivered is impactful, of high quality and at scale, we have worked together with multiple stakeholders to define specifications, standards, metrics and key performance indicators for ELIXIR training. It resulted in a harmonized mechanism, and its companion good practice guidelines, that allow to capture and report on ELIXIR training efforts and their impact, across Nodes. This mechanism has been so far adopted by approximately 12 Nodes, and over 2254 short-term feedback surveys have been collected to date. We are currently in the process of introducing long-term feedback surveys, which will allow to collect complementary and invaluable information of ELIXIR training impact in the long term.
