PechaKucha presentation from the 6th CILIP ARLG-SW Discover Academic Research and Training Support Conference (DARTS6). Dartington Hall, Totnes, Thursday 24th – Friday 25th May 2018
Collegiate system
124+ libraries to choose from
Lots of choice…sometimes too much choice!
It’s a spaceship
Work as a team of two
Me and Amy!
All our teaching is one-shot teaching
So how do we decide what to do?
What do people need to know to succeed?
Talk to academics
See what the community is talking about
OA, RDM, TDM etc
What are we getting asked about?
LaTeX mostly
How do we know if anyone will turn up?
*tumbleweed*
So we have to get creative with our promotion
One shot instruction remember
We deal with a lot of scientists and mathematicians
Harness the nerd!
Thanks Amy!
Good engagement
Colourful
Fun! RDM can be super dry if not taught right
Not always clear what the session is about (we’re working on that)
We struggling with timings (we always clash with something at lunch)
Constantly tweaking and remixing means some dedicated attendees come to a session they’ve been to before but don’t realise!
We’ve had the space to test
Now we’re consolidating
STEM RDP
Physics
Mphil in Biotech
Maths
Online stuff
