This document outlines a training plan developed by the KAPTUR project to teach information managers and other university staff about research data management in the visual arts. The plan will be tested at four UK universities and arts institutions. It includes introductory and advanced lesson plans that use various teaching methods like presentations, group discussions, and online content. The introductory lesson covers basic principles of research data in the visual arts, while the advanced lesson teaches how to create a data management plan.

1. KAPTUR training plan
Background
This training plan is an outcome of the JISC-funded KAPTUR project (2011-13). It will be tested
with the four partner institutions: The Glasgow School of Art; Goldsmiths, University of London;
University for the Creative Arts; and University of the Arts London. Each member of the team will
contribute content based upon presentations and workshops already given during the course of the
project, we will also reference the work of the Digital Curation Centre and other organisations
where relevant. Once the material has been piloted it will be amended as required and then
published in the form of the KAPTUR toolkits for use and re-use by other institutions.
