Lesson Development Matchmaking | Open Educational Resources | Summer Drinks
About this Event
---
On Thursday the 18th of June RST-NL & DC4NES organise a summer event for research software trainers across the Netherlands.
Join fellow trainers to exchange ideas, find inspiration and connect around collaborative lesson development and open educational resources.
The event is organised in the historical Snijzaal of the Anatomiegebouw overlooking the Utrecht canals. We'll wrap up with summer drinks in the garden.
Planning:
10.00 - 10.20 Walk-in
10.20 - 10.30 Plenary welcome
10.30 - 11.15 (Morning Session) DC4NES Lesson Development (Irina Motoc, TU Delft)
11.15 - 11.30 Coffee / Tea break

16.00 - 17.00 Drinks
Morning Session:
In collaboration with the TDCC-NES project Digital Skills for NES (DC4NES), the RST-NL network is gathering to connect people around lesson development ideas. Participants can pitch topics, explore shared interests, and form small teams. Teams formed during the session can apply for a free spot in the Carpentries Collaborative Lesson Development Training (CLDT) via the DC4NES project!
You’re equally welcome to join without a pitch - this is also a space to learn what others are working on and find ways to contribute.
Lunch:
We’ll provide a lunch buffet with sandwiches, wraps, and fresh juice. Coffee, tea, fruit, and snacks will be available throughout the day.
Afternoon Session:
This interactive workshop supports research software trainers in strengthening their use of Open Educational Resources (OER).
Using the 5R framework (Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix, Redistribute), participants will work with a range of open programming resources - beyond the Carpentries - including open curricula, interactive platforms, executable environments and real world open research software artefacts. Through hands-on, collaborative activities, you’ll evaluate, adapt, and combine materials to design learning experiences for your own training context. Full workshop abstract can be found here.
Summer Drinks
We’ll close the day with drinks and snacks in the garden of the Anatomiegebouw, right along the canals. A relaxed moment to continue conversations and enjoy the (hopefully sunny) late-afternoon together.
