Webinar discussion:

Topics
Need to consider audience - different webinars for different audiences

• Using the DataONE discovery tools (librarians may want this in a different flavor)
• How to work with data - sharing / uploading / best practices
• Tutorials for tools in the ITK (overview and also specifics)
• Tools 101; community tools for all different areas of the DLC
• What it is to be a MN; tiers, process etc
• Consider what DataONE strengths have been and focus on those.  Data description needed in the community
• Convert educaiton modules into webinars
• How to configure metacat as a MN (topics of interest to the IT community)
• Sustainable software, reproducibility
• Open data - example of how they worked with DataONE
• Data Integration and analysis
• What every grad student needs to know about ... (base of BPs)
• How to engage your community with DataONE
• Data papers / data publication
  
  

Have webinar 'tracks' for different types of users
Topic based approached - otherwise tools don't integrate into the workflow.  More 'tailored'
Problem based topics - How do I...?


Length / Frequency
Consider timing in terms of relation to grant deadlines / project initiation / calendar year
Web conference for MNs
Webconference (facilitated discussion) around a topic / problem / emerging policy / activity within the wider community

• No more than 1 hour (including Q&A)
• Shorter is better
• 30 minutes with optional Q&A
• Depends on nature of webinar (conveptual vs instructional)
• Frustrations associated with poorly organized webinars
• Regular schedule important
• 1/month
  
  
  
  

Screencasts
About 4 people have looked at the tool, about 2 people have used it to pull data

Basic search feedback:
Shading

• shading focussed attenion
• important early on, less important later
• highlighting important where there is no cursor action

Subtitles

• subtitles needed for non native speakers
• also for critical features (such as the AND behavior)
• subtitles for references to other video 
• replace the title in sub bar with information relevant to the action

Animation on the click was nice

Geographic search feedback:

• Arrows good bc you are not actually clicking on everything (highlight vs action)
• Pan into bar before shading in bc shading was too large
• Use the pan function more, it was helpful
• Focus on things that are specific to the tool (for example: overlap and enclose more important that zoom in / out)
• If it's a step based tutorial, say the steps up front
  
  

Have a page with tutorials and also a glossary
Think about where the screencast starts
Make sure you show everything you mention
Black box was distracting - didn't change very often


Prioritization

• DMPTool in need of screencasts
• Prioritize DataONE and DataONE partner tools
• If new versioning is expected, wait on creating screencasts
• Use the STs as a framework
• Library of other screencast / edu resources??
• Release tool with education materials (even if it delays the release of the tool)
• Though there is an opportunity to have multiple message broadcasts
• Release overview video important at release, can augment with specifics later

Webinar discussion:

Topics:

• Domain specificity - use cases
• ONER, other toolkit items
• Programmatic workflows - reproducability end to end, including experimental pipellines
• Writing a DMP for your grant (aimed at researchers)
• Latest tools
• Data Management best practices for facility managers
• Rights management and DataONE (recommended in MN session)
• Workflow tools like kepler and taverna
• Panel webinar for citizen science (profiling projects for citizen science)
• Issues in DM targeted to various data types
• Benefits of being a Member Node (for potential new MNs)
• What is metadata? How do I create it? How do I use it? What tools can I use for metadata management? 
• What is metadata - how to create it / use it / tools for helping
• Describing tools that will help people find data (domain specific?)
• For a repo manager - how to choose what goes in DataONE when joining as a MN (raised in MN session)
• Escaping excel: free ways to manage data outside excel (transition tools - data moves)
• Benefits of sharing data (incl use case)
• Helping PIs / Data creators understand metadata and how it's used - with use cases.  e.g. How do you make your data discoverable?
• Provenance and why it's used, why it's important to you
• How to increase the quality of your data
• Protecting your legacy (info on sharing for retiring researchers)
• Work with specific MNs to help people in the community deposit data
• Data Life Cycle for specific domains
  
  

Length/Frequency:

• 1 hr
• Questions after
• Monthly
• Repeating (i.e., twice a month, same presentation)
• Think about timing in terms of international participation
• Have longer (flexible) timing depending on topic - if having a panel presenting perspectives on the same idea)
• For internationals or people that can't call in, allow opportunity for questions to asked in advanced or contributed post viewing.
• Research the need / niche for the webinar - a lot of stuff out there (point people to the other material)
  
  
  
  
  
  

Screencasts:
5 people have been to ONEMercury and searched ONEMercury

Basic search feedback

• need for spotlight depends on how much of the page is being shown - mouse can get lost
• spotlight considered helpful
• zooming helpful if not moving in and out too much.  being zoomed out helps people with context
• Too much time one non essential if keeping at 1 minute (e.g. where to find other tutorials)
  
  

Geographic search

• Arrows provide nice contrast
• Gradual fade on spotlight?
• No-one read the text in the black box
• Summary text at the end of the steps (take home points)
  
  
  
  
• Generic or specific?  Have a speerate one - an example search using ONEMercury
• A 'poweruser' example
  
  

Prioritization

• Start with DataONE tools - wont have been done already, have inside information on versioning, can synchronization
• Dont' neccesarily do a full set on a (partner) tool - focus on the parts that are unique or complex
• Need to think carefully about the synchronization - don't want to have the redo and frustrate users, don't want to frustrate developers by 'holding' a product for release
