Digital Soft-Skills for Doctoral Students
CUSO Workshop (19/25 june 2012)
In order to complete their research, graduate students often have to develop a bunch of informal skills on their own. These acquition and practices of those skills can advantageously be translated into timesavings and efficiency in everyday tasks.
The objective of this seminar is to combine theoretical and practical guidelines to hepl graduate students take appropriate praxis to explore digital resources, get more pertinent information, and optimize their informational awareness so as to better face the ever-evolving technologies in their research field.
The seminar will mainly focus on three poles:
1. Acquiring skills in the fields of documentary, bibliographical and scientific information search on the Web;
2. Developing and/or improving efficiency in personal organization and collaborative work through fresh methodologies and better awareness and uses of Web 2.0
3. Sensitizing and/or improving knowledge in digital copyright issues in teaching and research.
This CUSO seminar, besides providing an opportunity for all participants to share their own practices, will enable participants to actually work with the proposed methods and tools as to encourage knowledge transfer into indivividual practices. It will futher be extended in the form of an online forum inviting discussion so as to eventually build a community of interest and a resource center for graduate students.
The seminar is scheduled on two separate days:
- Day 1 (June 19th, 2012): Formal presentations followed by 3 workshops
- Day 2 ( June 25th, 2012) Workshop's completion and collaborative work and synthesis of the seminar.
