Empowering Students to Gain Conference Experiences

Empowering students to share their learning at a public forum gives them the opportunity to demonstrate several transferable skillsets. It also impacts their self-efficacy, sense of belonging and perception of the curriculum which are all really important for retention!

Next Level Research Data Management: DMP Assistant and Data Repositories Workshop

Submitted by Lyn Locke on April 19, 2024 - 11:09am

Data Management Plans are about to become mandatory for many tri-agency funding opportunities.  A key tool to assist with this new requirement is the Data Management Plan (DMP) Assistant.  The DMP Assistant is a national, online, bilingual data management planning tool developed by the Digital Research Alliance of Canada to assist researchers in preparing data management plans (DMPs). In this hands-on workshop staff from the library and VIU’s SRCA office will discuss how the DMP Assistant works and guide you through the process so that you can make your own data management plan.
