CDCS Training Programme Semester 2 2024

We're delighted to share the announcement of our Training Programme for the second semester of 2023/24. 

Explore a diverse array of training events encompassing subjects such as text analysis, statistics, and more. For a full overview of available events, visit our Training Homepage. Here, you can access detailed information about each event and refine your search based on difficulty level, type of training, and covered topics. 

This semester, we're offering both workshops and courses. Workshops are self-contained, lasting one to three hours, while courses consist of two to three classes. All our workshops and courses are hands-on, sometimes involving some preparation such as software installation and material downloads.  

Approximately half of our program will be conducted remotely through Teams, while the other half will be held in person at the Digital Scholarship Centre on the top floor of the Main Library and at the uCreate Studio. Please check the event details to confirm whether the training will be conducted remotely or in person. 

CDCS also offers other types of training and support for the CAHSS researchers: 

Silent Disco events. These are asynchronous learning sessions where attendees will be pointed to tutorial content that they can work through at their own pace. An instructor will be available via Microsoft Teams chat to help with issues and further questions on the topic/training.  

Digital Method of the Month meetings. These are one-hour sessions where we discuss the practicalities of a specific method. This is a great space to learn about new methods and find out about their associated benefits and pitfalls, to help you figure out if this method is suitable for your own research project  

Data Surgery meetings. These meetings are aimed at researchers who are in the process of applying digital and data-driven methods to their research and are looking for some advice and support from fellow researchers.
