Making the CLARIN Training Materials FAIR-By-Design

Within the CLARIN network, training events and workshops take place each year to educate different stakeholders on various topics related to using the infrastructure in research and teaching. However, these materials are often not easily findable and reusable because they are developed using various formats, hosted on different platforms, and may have different access restrictions. Via the Teaching with CLARIN call, launched in 2021, we have collected a small set of training materials developed in the CLARIN community. They are showcased in the CLARIN Learning Hub.

 

The curation process revealed different practices for hosting and disseminating training materials, and showed that teachers need clear guidelines to help them make their training materials and learning resources findable and reusable by others in the community. In this Bazaar presentation, we would like to propose and discuss a more standardised workflow for developing, hosting and disseminating training materials within the CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure. Our proposal draws on our experience and collaboration in various projects (e.g. SSHOC Trainers Toolkit, SSH Open Marketplace, UPSKILLS project) and task forces (e.g. ELIXIR FAIR Training Handbook, Community of Practice), as well as based on the FAIR-by-Design Methodology for Learning Materials proposed in Skills4eosc.
