…data scientists [including] librarians [and] archivists… have the responsibility to design and implement education and outreach programs that make the benefits of data collections and digital information science available to the broadest possible range of researchers, educators, students, and the general public. – National Science Board, 2005

CRADLE Curating Research Assets and Data Using Lifecycle Education CRADLE http: //cradle. web. unc. edu/ is a collaborative effort of the School of Information and Library Science http: //sils. unc. edu, the H. W. Odum Institute for Research in Social Science http: //www. odum. unc. edu, and the University Libraries http: //library. unc. edu/ at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The CRADLE project was sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), under award #RE-06 -13 -0052 -13. CRADLE ran from 2013 -2017.

CRADLE & MOOC Audiences Librarians and archivists managing research data and working with research data creators; Information and library science master’s and doctoral students who will work as managers of research data or conduct data curation research and provide education to future data managers, and Researchers in the social, health, and physical sciences who need to write data management plans and more generally, learn how to manage their own data before it reaches a repository.

MOOC’s contents Understanding Research Data Management Planning Working with Data Sharing Data Archiving Data

Reviews It's a great course!! Great course! very good course! (3 reviews) This is a an important topic and more scientists (and students in the sciences) should learn about this but the quizzes are not great as a learning aid and my motivation is running through lows. I found this to be an excellent course. I have been teaching myself about data management for about the last two years as part of my work. I have read many documents, taken one course and have been to a couple of workshops. But I still felt that I was missing a lot of information - especially if I am to help researchers with their DMPs. Finally, thanks to this course, I have the more in depth information that I need. The topics covered, and the way they were covered also helped me to paint a better picture in my mind of the "whole process of data management" - an not just disjointed information which I felt I had. It's very useful. I recommend this course. A very informative course. i learnt a lot.
