Coaching Framework - Teaching and learning showcase slidesEmma Gillaspy
This document discusses implementing a coaching framework to support undergraduate nursing students. It notes challenges with existing student support systems and a lack of consistent encouragement for students to take ownership of their learning. The benefits of coaching from the student perspective are outlined, including building confidence, identifying weaknesses, and feeling part of the healthcare team. An observation describes first-year nursing students flourishing under the coaching model with guidance from second-year students. The document also includes a diagram outlining different levels of listening for coaches and discusses plans to develop coaching among personal tutors, clinical mentors, and students to transform student learning and support environments.
Building your professional network helps you in several ways: it allows you to exchange information and stay up-to-date in your field, secure support for personal or career goals, identify potential areas for collaboration, establish interest groups, get published and referred for opportunities, explore career options, and raise the profile of your work. An effective networking strategy involves keeping your online profiles up-to-date, engaging others with your research and activities, commenting on large industry sites, and maintaining a professional website or blog. The key to successful networking is generosity, not greed, and being an active participant in your field to take advantage of opportunities.

Using social media to benefit your research 18 02-2013Emma Gillaspy
Using social media can benefit research in several ways:
1) It allows researchers to connect with a wide range of people and expand their network, which can increase opportunities for collaboration, employment, funding, and discussion.
2) Researchers can tap into collective intelligence through social media to become more knowledgeable about their own and other fields.
3) Establishing an online presence through social media can help researchers build their reputation and demonstrate their expertise.
4) Social media provides a way for researchers to practice important skills like debating, discussion, and critical thinking. It can also be used as a tool to directly conduct research.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Editor's Notes
What am I going to give you?Space to thinkAbout what you’re currently doingWhat you want to do
Build human capital by influencing the development and implementation of effective policy relating to researcher development This includes running an annual conference and policy forum and regional networks that enable the quick and effective development and implementation of new policy Enhance higher education provision to train and develop researchers through generation of key resources/programmes and regional implementation, e.g. Effective Researcher and CPD for researcher development staff Empower researchers to make an impact in their careers through UK-wide researcher web resources and support and targeted activities to meet specific needs, e.g. creative industries careers in focus programme with the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Evidence the impact of professional and career development support for researchers through implementation of the impact framework and the ‘What do Researchers do?’, series of publications and research reports
Give them RS postcardPolicy e.g. Conference and policy Forum, Concordat implementation, HR excellence in research award, UKRSA
Training e.g. Development and delivery of high quality programmes for researchers, providing training for staff who support researcher development
Information and community e.g. Website, training for researchers, blogs, facebook, twitter, UKRSA
Research and evidence e.g. Impact framework, WDRD
What skills, knowledge, behaviours does a successful researcher have?In groups of 6, 3 minutes to list as many ‘things’ as you can on the post it notes and put them up on the wall. Have a look at what other groups have put. Common themes? Funny examples?Being successful as a researcher requires you to think carefully and strategically about your skills, objectives and the areas in which you need to developWe went through a similar process to this in our creation of the Researcher Development Framework
We asked that question in semi-structured interviews with over 100 experienced researchers (mostly profs and PIs). The RDF was the result of that research.The RDF has been designed to help you plan, promote and support your personal, professional and career development. It was developed by you for you.The project began with an initiative at the 2008 Roberts Policy Forum.
