Upcoming Workshops
Sharing research data is a requirement of many funding agencies and journals. When the data includes information which, when made public, could be used to harm research participants, researchers must maintain a duty of care to keep the data secure and to protect participants’ identities.
In this virtual Data & Donuts workshop, we’ll discuss how to meet requirements for data sharing while ensuring ethical treatment and protection of sensitive data. We will address consent issues and IRB, secure storage, anonymization, and de-identification, as well as data (re)use agreements. We will also point out which data can be shared.

As open education initiatives continue to expand, some faculty are looking to create their own open educational resources. Pressbooks is a platform which houses a large catalog of open access books published by nearly 200 organizations and networks.
In our virtual Perspectives on Pressbooks session, UT faculty members discuss their experience with using Pressbooks to create and house their open education projects. Panelists will discuss challenges, successes, and give insight into how others might utilize the platform. This event is free and open to the UT community, but registration is required.
