026 - Byte-Sized Data Encounters - Gallant
<p>In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome Amber Gallant, Data Services Librarian at Royal Roads University, who will be sharing with us details about her innovative project, Byte-Sized Data Encounters. Amber was faced with the challenge of teaching doctoral students with limited time and the unique needs of a largely online program adoptable data management skills and she adopted an extremely creative approach. She used a micro-education approach which reimagined traditional training by weaving in short, engaging, and hands-on activities to spark curiosity, promote practical learning, empower doctoral students with data management skills, and make the material memorable. Together, we’ll explore how this informal, scaffolded model builds confidence and helps students develop data practices.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Amber Gallant</strong> is the Data Services Librarian at Royal Roads University. She is interested in data equity and accessibility issues, data justice (or, examining how people are fairly or unfairly represented as a result of their production of data!), data reuse, and exploring sources of secondary data. She brings this work to RRU in discussing data collection and methodologies, among other topics, with faculty and students conducting research. Outside work, she enjoys baking overly complicated desserts, attempting to sample every cheese known to humanity, and exploring the beautiful, unceded lands stewarded to this day by the Lekwungen-speaking peoples.</p><p>Resources Mentioned: </p><p>Byte-Sized Data Encounters OSF project: 10.17605/OSF.IO/K46C5</p>
