The Research Infrastructure Self-Evaluation (RISE) framework aims to facilitate communication between stakeholders and foster a shared understanding of research data management service development. RISE identifies common service elements and organizes them into 10 areas and 21 capabilities. It provides a flexible tool for institutions to benchmark current services, define targets, and identify gaps to guide strategy. Field testing validated that RISE allows institutions to assess compliance and contribute to business cases in a half day workshop. Future work includes using RISE in training and connecting its competencies to the European Open Science Cloud.

Preparing for an inter-institutional Benchmarking activity using the ACODE Be...Charles Darwin University
Over the last few years the Australasian Council of Online, Distance and eLearning (ACODE) have facilitated two major Benchmarking Summits in Sydney and Canberra, using the ACODE Benchmarks for TEL. These have been unprecedented events within the Australasian higher education, with 35 higher education institutions from five countries involved. To participate each institution first had to undertake a self-assessment of their capacity in TEL against the Performance Indicators in the tool, and then be willing to share this with the other institutions involved. Each institution assessed, at a minimum, two of the benchmarks, with many institutions doing far more. However, for an institution to maximize its experience with this activity they need to be starting their engagement well prior to the formal benchmarking activity. This workshop will help those new to the ACODE benchmarks understand what is required when using this tool. It will provide the wherewithal to ensure your participation is undertaken in a rigorous way. More importantly, it will provide a practical way to facilitate an internal activity, potentially with a view to then be involved in an inter-institutional activity. We will work through a number of different scenarios to help you understand the many facets needing to be considered in undertaking such an activity, and you leave with a strong plan of action for your institution to enhance its capacity in TEL.

Recent national and international mandates and reports seek to promote an open research infrastructure which facilitates easy access to knowledge and information for all. For example, The UK Open Research Data Task Force report, released in February 2019, recommends user-friendly services for research data management and infrastructure to maximise interoperability and discoverability.
Jisc has built the Open Research Hub (JORH), which integrates a repository, preservation, reporting and storage platform. This cloud-based service is a community governed, multi-tenant solution for universities and other research institutions to manage, store, preserve and share their published research data. Based on existing open standards, the service’s open and extensive data model incorporates best practice from across the sector, including DataCite, CrossRef, CERIF, Dublin Core and PREMIS.
While the Hub was built to address the needs of research data curation, its adoption of open, best practice standards means it has the potential to allow the service to handle a much wider range of digital research objects, including Open Access articles, theses and software. The data model, rich messaging layer and an open API facilitate interoperability with other institutional and scholarly communications systems. This provides the potential for the Hub to underpin infrastructure capable of meeting the requirements of an ever-evolving open research agenda.
This talk will introduce some of the key initiatives seeking to shape open research infrastructure and discuss how the Hub’s current and future development is directed towards facilitating open research best practice. Consideration will be given to how the Hub either meets or can meet recent recommendations such as FAIR, Plan S, ORDTF and the COAR’s Next Generation Repositories.
Jisc Research Data Shared Service - a Samvera case studyJisc RDM
As part of its Research Data Shared Service (RDSS), Jisc has been developing a repository component as part of its core architecture . Through making an integrated research data management platform available to UK Universities, there is a growing demand from small to medium HEIs for the RDSS to provide a single repository solution that fits their needs for publications and data with workflows for Open Access and REF submissions. To achieve this, the repository must be integrated with other Jisc Open Access services such as Sherpa, Jisc Monitor and Publications router, along with those provided by external stakeholders such as ORCID, Crossref, DataCite and OpenAIRE.
This presentation is a case study in evaluating Samvera for this role, and its suitability as a multi-tenanted, sustainable hybrid repository that is both attractive to researchers and universities and aligns with the broader international objectives of the community, the FAIR agenda and open science.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

5. Issues we aimed to address
• Facilitate communication between stakeholders
• Get a broad range of input into each service
element
• Place service elements within the big picture
• Foster a shared understanding of service
development
• Ensure all RDM service elements are addressed
• Avoid getting mired in detail
• Recognise the impact of institutional context
• Confidence that services meet RCUK requirements
6. RISE model
• Provide a framework to guide discussion
• Ability to benchmark current and future service
provision to guide strategy development
• Define a baseline level of service but
• Be relevant regardless of institutional context
We aimed to develop a flexible, practical tool which could
be used independently
9. Service elements into capability areas
Active data
management
• Scalability and
synchronisation
• Collaboration support
• Security management
21 capabilities across ten RDM service elements
11. Statements describe service levels
Security management
Level One Level Two Level Three
The service provides
authenticated access to
storage that is protected from
unauthorised data access, and
researchers are made aware of
procedures for data protection
and de-identification.
The service
provides tools/environments
that enable researchers to de-
identify, encrypt or control
access to data as required.
The service provides
researchers from across the
institution with access to ISO
27001/2 or equivalently
accredited facilities for
analysis of shared sensitive
data.
12. Using RISE
Consider each service element individually
Assess your current capability
Define your target capability
Identify barriers and opportunities
OUTPUTS
• Reassurance that compliance has been achieved
• Gap analysis
• Contributes to service development strategy
• Contributes to business case
• Fostering links between support departments
13. Field-testing RISE
• Validate the approach
• Ensure the descriptions were clear
• Apply the framework in different contexts
• Use the tool to feed in to different outputs
We used the tool with 16 UK universities
14. Test subjects
Edinburgh – RDM manager
Stirling – Intensive, semi-structured interviews
Cranfield – Small workshop
Northumbria – Small, focused workshop
Then a final workshop with 12 universities to validate the
final approach.
• Aimed for a spread of sizes, specialisation and
geographical spread
• Brunel, Cambridge, Durham, Exeter, Glasgow School of
Art, Hull, London South Bank, Newcastle, SOAS,
Strathclyde, Surrey and Sussex.
15. Lessons learned
• Have a fixed goal communicated to all participants
• Allow sufficient time to work through RISE
• It will take ½ day to work through with up to six
people
• Participants should work through the framework
individually before discussing collectively
• Capture discussion – contextual information is
important
16. Future directions
• DCC is using RISE in training and consultancy
• We are developing competency models to connect
skills development with service capabilities through
EOSC
• We have a draft model for repository development
capabilities we are connecting with RISE (ReCAP)

Editor's Notes
When developing individual capability level descriptions we had these general ideas in mind. It’s interesting to note that when people apply RISE to their own context they tend to think of it as a sliding scale.
Levels are cumulative and represent a development progression. However, unlike other models, the ideal end-point is defined by institutional factors rather than automatically sitting at the right-hand end of the scale. In some circumstances, services can be over-developed…
