ACIT Hub Co-design Day
What is a Co-design day?
Training is more effective when the people who will be benefiting from it are included in the design, both the content and the delivery. This day is part of a number of Co-design days run by ACIT Hub to find out what training the community needs.
This Co-design day will build on the discussions and priorities identified in previous ACIT Hub Co-design events, where research infrastructure engineers (RIEs) highlighted key training topics and preferred formats (e-learning, hackathons, webinars, in person courses). The focus of this day is to move from “what we need” to “how we design it”; developing concrete training plans that ACIT Hub can take forward into course and event development.
The day will combine short, scene-setting talks and structured interactive sessions where participants will explore and develop RIE training ideas.
During the interactive sessions, participants will work in small groups to develop training plans on specific topics, including:
- Target audience and pre-requisites
- Learning objectives
- Format
- Topic description
- Learning activities
Participants will explore what skills RIEs need, discover what training is available and in development, and gain practical experience of developing training plans; plus, they will have the opportunity to meet other RIEs and directly impact the training developed by ACIT Hub.
